Great writing, Great story... Amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2005)

This movie has been on my mind since I saw the trailer sometime last year. It totally slipped my mind until a co-worker told me to rent it.
This movie was soo easy going and personable that not only did I get emotionally invested, but my husband did as well. At one point, it was so intense and emotionally charged that we almost started hating the writer and director for making such a wonderful movie. At times, I had to just pause the film so I could just catch my breath and so I could continue with watching it.
This movie probably has been the best "love drama" kind of movie in well over five years. I cannot say enough about this film to even due it justice. I know what I like and to me it is a pretty simple concept. Good writing, good story, good director and most importantly....good cast will more than likely equal an AWESOME movie. (and those are odds I would bet in Vegas with) I am not sure why this movie was not up for an Oscar, Golden Globe, or any of these kinds of awards. I think the voters really missed the boat on this one, and someone (or people) were left out of a very important season that in most cases should have included them.
