"Laughter through tears" romantic comedy.

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2006)

This is a fairly typical romantic comedy. If that's your kind of movie this will delight you. Some would say it is formulaic and predictable. While that may be true, and it often is true of any movie genre, this movie has much to offer in the way of twists on the old story line. The actors shine in their roles, the scenery is a treat to behold and it has an "old movie" feel, which seems intentional. There is more to this movie than just the romance. I think there are some solid messages about our lives and how we live them. Of course, it depends on where you are in your own life what messages you will or won't hear. In my opinion, it's a great movie based simply on entertainment value. What you take away from it is up to you.
