Surprisingly sweet and delightful

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2010)

I have seen A LOT of chick flicks, when I say a lot I mean basically every possible you can thinks of... From very very good till B,C, and D movies, if that even exists! Seriously, no joke. I've seen them all!!
I wanted to watch this movie for a while but never got around to it. Then a friend insisted it so I thought I give it a shot. And i have to say, I really really liked it! Very enjoyable..
You have to understand that this isn't the standard chick flick, if it even is considered in that genre. It's not the kind of movie you can predict the ending of it after watching for 15 min! I found it intriguing for a change to not know what was gonna happen next. It doesn't have the chick flick cute ending also but it doesn't have to be. I am a HUGE sucker for love and I loved this kind of ending, so that's gotta mean something.
You see how Holly is trying to cope with the loss of her husband at a very early age. She is trying to deal with it, unsuccessfully might I ad, and then she gets these letters from her late husband. Although they might seem cruel and useless, as the movie continues you understands what the reason is. He is really trying to get her to see the girl he fell in love with in the first place.
I read a couple of reviews beforehand and a lot said that it would be a huge tearjerker. Now i'm proud to say that I cry very fast at movies and TV-shows. But this movie nothing, maybe a tear or two but that was about it. I expected "the Notebook" but nope. I had a couple of times that were very said, but no waterfalls for me.
I just would like to add that I loved the (flashback)bar scene, that was one of the cutest moments in the movie! It the kind of movie that makes you happy afterwards!Thats all i'll say about it, see it yourself! And enjoy!
