You'll fall in love with falling in and out of love

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2004)

How many movies do you think about 24 hours after seeing them? Really think about?
The reviewers who mention that it's the love story that wins you over, are right. You'll fall in love with the idea of falling in love. You'll fall in love with the faults of the characters and even their falling out of love.
And maybe you'll look at yourself and see a glimmer of your own romantic sabotages, desperations and mistakes; and realize that there's hope. For Clem and Joel, and for all of us.
Jim Carrey doesn't clown it up, and Kate Winslet is crazy (in good and bad ways). And it's okay, it's great, it's frustrating, and it's exactly right.
