'real love'

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2005)

One of the most realistic love stories I have ever seen. I can't say I'd call it a 'romantic comedy', although it has to do with romance and has plenty of good laughs in it. But the story does not follow that of a romantic comedy. It shows how love really is. I absolutely can't stand romantic comedies but this movie has become one of my favorites. I just love movies that make you think. And this story was so realistic- I watched it with my boyfriend and even he liked it. I could really relate to the plot. It shows that love is not perfect, the 'real' aspects of relationships, and that things don't always turn out to be what you want them to be. There are so many great lines in the movie that have stuck in my head. I absolutely loved Natalie Portman in this movie and can completely relate to her character.
