One I can't get out of my mind

Rating: 9/10 (25 July 2012)

Spoiler alert I've finally got round to watching this after seeing fantastic reviews and previews and it didn't disappoint. I thought it was really moving and quite heartbreaking in some points. There are no Hollywood happy endings - when George Clooney's character finally decides to go to Chicago to "get the girl" I actually thought it would be a happy ending, and I wouldn't have minded. Instead, it showed a real life situation. Of course she was married and had a family, or at least had "someone" at home. And yet, I didn't hate her for it. I could understand why she wanted that escape. Interesting that it was the female who did the betrayal, perhaps audiences (myself included) would have had double standards and judged him.
Loved the "co-pilot" bit before the wedding too! So many one liners and laugh out loud moments, as well as just wanting to hug George Clooney as he looked so sad and alone
