Heartwarming romance

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2007)

I wanted to see it on big screen when it first came out, but got sidetracked with life. Two nights ago I had the opportunity to see it on the free weekend of STARZ premium movie channel. And I had to say, IMO, the *best* romantic movie ever. If there's a movie that can make me laugh AND cry, it's a keeper.
All the main characters, played by those Americans (Cameron Diaz and Jack Black) and British (Kate Winslet and Jude Law) made the intercontinental romance possible and believable.
**spoiler** If I had my druthers, I'd go for the cute and schmaltzy stuff that's sorely needed in this old, jaded world of ours:
1) Of Iris and Arthur's friendship is the sweetest and with Arthur's help Iris finally finding herself out of her polite British demeanor is the best part of the film. 2) Amanda meeting Graham's family was one of the best highlight of the film. I won't say more as it's just too precious to put to words.
Regardless of some snit over the 'cuteness' and 'sugar-y' of this film, I'd say this...we need MORE of this kind of film to get this overall great feeling.
Nancy Meyers, you rock!
