Truly Delightful (This review may contain spoilers!)

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2011)

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, this movie seemed right up my alley: Two people so in love they will move heaven and earth to be together? Give me more! I was a little skeptical when I first started watching, because I am not a Matt Damon and I had heard some pretty terrible reviews. But I was blown away! I'll admit the plot was rather linear, followed by a seemingly pointless chase scene and a hard to believe first kiss, but I felt that the movie had so much heart and charm that the rest was easy to forgive. I loved the premise and the idea that people could be controlling our destinies, and it really made for an interesting movie. I did feel at times that Matt Damon's character was more in love with the idea that he couldn't have her, rather than that he felt some undefined, intense connection with Elise, but their scenes together were so charming that I couldn't help but giggle and grin from ear to ear. I loved their bantering and I loved their finale kiss even more. While I do have some issues with the movie, it was a simple and intriguing watch that left me with a good feeling in my heart.
