Romantic Love Story

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2005)

I watched this movie last night and enjoyed it very much. As stated in some of the other reviews, this is a fairly typical boy from wrong side of the tracks meets rich girl, boy and girl fall in love kind of movie. What makes this story somewhat different is the way it is presented: an old man reading the love story to an old woman in a nursing home. It was the two senior citizens and their relationship in the movie which touched me the most. The main characters were wonderfully cast and make the story come to life. The setting in a small southern town makes for some lovely scenery. I found the movie to be somewhat predictable on the whole, and also a little unrealistic but still a wonderful love story.
