Great movie. Exceeded my expectations.

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 1999)

I've already seen this movie twice, am planning to see it this week, and have a hold on the video for when it comes out. I know this sounds like some critic, but if you can only see one movie this year, see this one (told you it sounded like a critic). It has the perfect mix of comedy, tragedy, romance & wartime drama, more then enough for a fan of any of the genres, but not too much for people uninterested. I myself love comedy, but hate romance (movies). This movie has the comedy, but not too much romance to annoy me. I've haven't seen "Shakespeare In Love," but, from what I've heard from my friends, "Life Is Beautiful" (or, in this case, "La Vita È Bella") deserved the Best Picture award. See this movie NOW!
