sentimental

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2004)

a very good movie, but it takes the cheeze out of cheezy...the corn out of corny. i didn't cry, but the rest of the audience didn't survive the storm of overdone emotion. we were all hungry by the end, i'm sure. the development of the romance and it's subsequent end was much better than the plot itself. they did an o.k. job in character development as well, but the splurge of romantic ambiance was overwhelming. that was pretty much what the characters were about anyway--each other.
the portrayal of their romance was also a very good way to describe frustrations of senile dementia. it was a very effective way of combining love and loss, two very polar emotions.
if you are a hopeless romantic, or in a sentimental mood, this the movie to see.
