Better the second time around

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2004)

When we first watched this movie at the theater, it seemed to take off way too slow. By the end of the movie, we were just waiting for the ending so we could go. However, it did leave a good feeling, as most of the love stories going on inside the movie ended "happily ever after". When I watched it again on DVD, it was much better. It seems that if you know where each story is headed, it makes the simultaneous telling of all these stories manageable. Its another example of a movie that is better when you turn on HBO and watch 20 minutes of the "good parts", then when you decide to sit and watch it for over 2 hours. It definitely reminded me of "Pulp Fiction" with all the jumping around, except that this movie was shown "in order".
