Wonderful!!!

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2004)

What an absolute treat!! I'd put this as one of my top five movies of all time. I thought the acting was flawless and the story almost entirely believable. The dialogue flowed effortlessly...a true credit to the writers of the screenplay. I'm going to dash out and get the novel to see if it lives up to the movie. Ryan Gosling was extremely believable as the young impetuous fool in love. James Garner and Gena Rowlands were superb. Will there be those who don't enjoy it? Of course. But for those who will... it will tug at your heart strings and make you long for a love like that in your own life. A chick flick? Most definitely. Thank God I'm a chick.
