The Perfect Holiday Gift!!

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2006)

This movie totally exceeded my expectations. In fact, I write this after having gone to see it for the second time. The story has something for everyone...heartbreak for those of us who get bruised in love...excitement for those of us who seek another world...struggle and redemption...winter in England...summer in sunny California...two amazing female leads - a high-energy, high-powered girl's girl, and a caring, romantic soul-sister - two wonderful male leads - a devilishly handsome older brother, and my favorite character, a zany and adorable film-score composer - ...plus some more, including a fantastic performance by a seasoned Hollywood veteran, and a great soundtrack. This is one you don't want to miss, and you may even feel like you've gone on your own vacation, as I did.
