Tear Jerker Alert

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2009)

I think this is one of the most excellent movies I have ever seen. We own several hundred movies, but when my sister-in-law called me this evening from the video store and mentioned this one, I was all for it. She didn't even realize which one it was... Certainly one we will never forget. Brad and Cate have amazing chemistry together, and the reversal of how we expect to live our lives (i.e. fall in love and grow old together) is both beautiful and horrific. Be prepared. If you have functional tear ducts, this movie will drain them for you. And to the person before me... pointless is when there is no message. This movie is not pointless. It is these sad (even if fictional) stories that remind us how human, how special, and how lucky each one of us is for the gifts we have been given in life. Enough with the sentimental. Go watch the movie!
