Groundhog Day meets Ghostbusters?

Rating: 3/10 (13 December 2004)

OK, I'm not going to bash this movie because it did have it's merits. It was just an interesting concept that didn't work for me. Character development was nil which makes us apathetic about their relationship which makes for a rotten love story. Not a funny movie although probably not meant to be. Whats left? An average drama I suppose. Let's face it, two hours of dream sequences had a lot of us bored & restless regardless of how clever the concept may have been. I really liked Winslets and Carreys performances. The rest of the cast was expendable. Overall a 7 out of 10. Coulda been a contender(on my list). I feel as if critics jumped on the bandwagon on this one for fear of being passé or out of touch. Maybe with all of the Hollywood garbage out there now a carnation such as this comes out smelling like a rose. Worth a watch, that's it. The ending reminded me of Jerry McGuire(good film , bad love story). Two people settling for mediocrity.
