Why cry??

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 1999)

When it came to my attention that many women and even men I know cried during this movie I wanted to see it ASAP. What a disappointment! Both Julia and Hugh can be pretty cute and a love story of the two is not unthinkable. But why cry?? Nothing really sad happened except for the woman in the wheelchair which I do not think is the thing they cried about. The story then.... , so very very superficial and such an easy plot, was unable to bring tears to my eyes for any moment during the whole film. I guess the makers just thought seeing Julia and Hugh on the big screen together would make people not pay attention to the story anymore. Since the movie was a success I guess they were right, it is exactly what happened.
Though watching this film is a sweet way to spend some time don't expect to feel anything more than amazement about the tears of your fellow viewers. That is if you don't get hypnotized by the stars as well...
