My wife calls this film a nice romance; a dream

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2004)

My ex best friend and best man Dave went too see this film. Dave's eyes popped out at Julia, I guess they dressed her up for the male audience; Myself wanted to see Karate Dude revenge or some other mind numbing movie. I found the acting done well, Gere and Roberts have never acted bad in a film I have seen. They have a chemistry together and should do more films. Gere ages well like a wine. Roberts sometimes, she is a real love her or hate type of actress. She surprises me by doing some great movies. I probably disagree with Gere and Roberts on many issues, but the warmth they show on screen I do believe is real. Not many people would cry and donate the money Julia did for 9/11. Good for you Julia, a real person who isn't a caring phoney. The story bothered me I found the execution of it just lacking, for the conclusion where there is hope for the 2 main characters, and their power to change and to become better people. My wife who writes to give my reviews balance will state the following: The film was a fairy tale in that good things do happen to those that desire better in life. The prince charming is out there for everyone. 7/10
