Warm and beautiful

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2004)

As someone who has done a bit of traveling, I know what the isolation of being alone in a foreign county can do to you. And to find a friend in the middle of all of the isolation can be a beautiful and yet bittersweet gift.
I was struck by this film's ability to capture that sentiment so perfectly, in such a warm and beautiful way. And yet, I laughed so many times because of Bill Murray's perfect performance. He was so natural and funny, and the demure, withdrawn Scarlett was a great counterpart.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who has ever made friends on a cruise ship, only to never speak to them again, for no particular reason. To anyone who has ever experienced the wordless closeness that two strangers can feel when they share even just a single thing to bond them.
Warm, and beautiful, and funny and entertaining. 5 stars!
