so sweet....

Rating: 7/10 (26 November 2004)

Surprisingly, Meet Joe black left me feeling good. I say "surprisingly" because I knew the polt line which sounded very gloomy and I had some initial concerns about watching it. Although I did not get to see it from start to finish(came in after it started) I watched it through to end and found myself charmed and touched at this unusual movie.
Oh of coarse I cried to-that's inevitable when watching a movie like this. But the gloom and doom that can proceed this type of movie (for instance I walked out of "City of angels") just wasn't here and I enjoyed Meet Joe Black. It was fun to see Pitt in this kind of role and contrary to what I've heard many say, I thought he and Claire Forlini had oodles of chemistry-more then Pitt had with almost any actress I've seen him on screen with.
The movie is very much a downer in some places and the ending was both sad and beautiful but It is worth watching though I wouldn't rank it as one of my faves. I'd give it a 7 of 10 but you have to be in the right mood to see it because of the subject matter and the movie's length.
