1 star for the scenery, 1 star for the music, 0 stars for everything else

Rating: 2/10 (3 February 2016)

When this movie first came out, I kept bugging my boyfriend to watch it with me because it was "the most talked about" movie of that time. I haven't read the book, but hey, it HAS TO be good if everyone was anticipating and lining up to see it right?
WRONG. I am so glad my boyfriend cleverly did not "submit" (*snickers*) to my pleas. Because he was on a business trip, I watched it by myself tonight out of sheer curiosity and I am still left in utter shock at how bad it was.
Everyone else that gave it under 5 stars has pretty much already said everything I've wanted to say about it. So I won't waste your time with repetitiveness. But...
I consider myself a very romantic woman and I still find this film horrid. No chemistry and terrible ending with no resolution. Everything was predictable. Honestly it was worse than softcore porn. At least you can laugh at how terrible the acting is in those movies. This? I was just left in as much confusion as the lead female character. Very annoying.
WOW.
The only redeeming qualities were 1) the soundtrack 2) the beautiful Seattle scenery. But, unfortunately, I don't watch movies for those things.
NO JUST NO.
