Star-worthy performance by Rachel McAdams

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2004)

I agree with all of the previous positive reviews, but would simply add that I think a new Hollywood star has arrived in Rachel McAdams. I was simply smitten with her; she was lovely, engaging, full of life, passionate. I have had her in my head since I saw the movie Saturday. She has the right stuff to be THE starlet of the next decade...you heard it here. If she doesn't get an Oscar nomination for her performance, I will be very put out.
I also enjoyed the performances of Gosling, Garner, Shepard and Rowlands. You are totally taken in by all of these characters, and find yourself thinking later about filling your life up with people of their quality. This is definitely now one of my all-time favorite love stories. This movie definitely has a Capra-esque quality to it, that lingers with you.
