Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (29 September 2005)

I really loved this film but surprisingly enough it really never took off in Ireland. When I heard that this film was released I deliberately read the book first because I'm a firm believer that the books are better. In this case I feel the film hit the target spot on. It was brilliantly edited and I thought that the two younger leads were fantastic but then I've been a big fan of Rachel McAdams since Mean Girls. I thought she played the role of Allie superbly and it just shows what a fantastic actress she is. To brutally honest though I was never as interested in the older couples story and I enjoyed it more when they stuck to the main story. But luckily I did buy the DVD about two weeks ago and I definitely think that it gets better every time you watch it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good old fashioned love story.
