Why such a high rating for this movie?

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2005)

I watched this movie because of its high rating at IMDb. I don't know what the fuss is all about. Camera shots and acting are very good but I found the story not that original. It wasn't as emotional as I kind of expected.
I found the music quite annoying; every two minutes or so a new song swelled on loudly and then lasted for 30 seconds or so. Reminded me of the same technique in Good Will Hunting, although there it was done more modestly and felt as part of the movie. Here the music was trying to convey emotion but it failed horribly with me.
To sum up: decent movie although I think it is overrated.
