Product: Head in the Clouds (2004)
Rating: 4.0
Good Rainy Day Movie.
Just short of five stars because I know not everyone will appreciate the melodrama of this flick. I watched it with my wife thinking it met the criteria of being a chick flick and a testosterone driven war epic. She fell asleep about halfway through the movie and I'm glad she did. What was a delightfully cheery romance novel erupted into one of the most intense brutally sad movies I have ever seen. What kills me is the countless bad reviews this movie got. This is the first movie I have seen in a while where there was NOT A LICK of bad acting. The characters were well developed and the sets were amazing - truly gave the feel of a 1930's setting. If you are patient enought to let a story develop over a good few hours you might give this movie a chance. If you are looking for a shallow love story with a happy ending don't waste your time.
