Beautiful movie

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2008)

I only watched this movie based on a friends recommendation. I had never heard of it, and was pretty hesitant because the title is way too corny. But, I watched it and I loved it! It is pleasantly surprising.
This movie had everything, I would be laughing one minute, crying the next, all within one scene. Some standout scenes for me were the flashback karaoke scene (and of course the aftermath) and the tear-jerking scene in which Holly listens to Gerry's voice-mail message over and over. Unlike most romantic movies, the ending wasn't frustratingly cheesy. It was sweet and believable.
'Love you till the end' by Irish/English band The Pogues was a perfect choice for the soundtrack. The casting for this movie was perfect. The Irish landscapes were beautiful.
I absolutely loved this movie, which made me laugh and cry at the same time, and I would recommend anyone give it a chance...as long as they are prepared to move to Ireland before the credits finish.
