To be funny or serious...

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2002)

Despite of my pitiful attempt for a one line summary my perception of the movie was (and is) that it certainly is one of the best movies I've seen. The idea, though it repeats in many sci-fi series is always a refreshing one, when implemented with enough skill, like in this case.
If there is someone that has not seen this movie - then GO! Rent it, buy it, go visit a friend that has it. It really is a good movie. Though some might consider it a bit too sugarry at times. But I like it.
And in the end I'd like to insert my favourite quote from the movie. For me it represents the beautiful side of the movie.
"What I wanted to say was......I think you are the kindest......sweetest, prettiest person......I've ever met in my life.
I've never seen anyone......that's nicer to people than you are.
And the first time I saw you......something happened to me. I never told you......but I knew I wanted to hold you......as hard as I could.
I don't deserve someone like you. But if I ever could......I swear I would love you......for the rest of my life."
This is what Phil said to Rita during one of the (better) days.
