An intelligent story about love.

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2002)

Although the ending seems a little cheesy, you can forgive director Cameron Crowe because of the content Vanilla Sky explores. Tom Cruise is stunning in his role, asking you to forgive daddy's little rich kid and you find yourself feeling sorry for him. Not because of his accident but for the fact that even though he has everything the one thing he lacks is true love. Penelope Cruz is beautiful and charming, she breathes life into the film with her wit and smile. I also want to give kudos to Crowe for bringing Jason Lee back, I can never get enough of his brilliant performances. As I left the movies I found myself examining my life and what I really wanted, because we can lose it at any time. I think anyone looking for a half thriller / half romance will be in good hands with Crowe and this amazing story.
