A need-to-see for young and old, alike.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2005)

I loved this movie, although I was in a heap at the end. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling were terrific. I kept seeing a young Jimmy Stewart in Ryan Gosling-his manner, his speech. Rachel shows such great enthusiasm, it is contagious.
James Garner and Gena Rowlands are old favorites of mine who always turn in wonderful performances. I always make a point of seeing their movies.
The subject matter is timely and thought-provoking, the music and mood of the young people's story is quite well done. I recommend seeing this movie, if it isn't relevant for you today, it will be one day.
