After getting it, I didn't watch it for a while until I looked at it and I saw Timothy Olyphant is in it and he is a good actor.Without giving away the entire details of the plot, I would sum up my reaction as to what I see the movie is about and how it made me feel: this movie seemed to be about not going after what you really want or hiding it because of how it might be perceived (that we're not living up to the expectations of others). The sad thing is the time we wasted not really pursuing what or whom we really want.
Of course when she downplayed the relationship as nothing, that's the nail that seals the coffin. It's a good movie but **spoiler** If I had been Fritz I would have confronted Gray after she left the kitchen when Sam came downstairs because it was if she was ashamed to be seen with me, which is hurtful.
I recommend this movie. Sometimes, that hurt is not overcomeable unless we both let our love overcome past hurts.
Thank goodness she comes to her senses none too late. I got it on a lark because Jennifer Garner is in it and she's beautiful.
When we place those expectations above the other person that we love, it's sad and hurtful to both ourselves and our loved one and create a barrier.
I saw him in Hitman, but it took me a while to put it together that this was the same guy. Is it gettin' hot in here or is it just me. He pulled off the easygoing, comedic peformance in this movie without a hitch, something I wouldn't have seen coming based on his Hitman performance, which was also way-cool. It wasn't a cliche, which was so refreshing. I mean, I knew it was a comedy, but I didn't expect the humor to have such intelligence - each laugh the movie evoked caught me off guard, because I wasn't expecting it. I won't bore you with a summary of the plot, which has already been outlined. I would prefer to highlight how this movie and its aesthetics affected me.This movie was tastefully directed and the script was witty and intelligent. I laughed and laughed, especially at Sam, who could make a serious situation funny with just the teensiest effort.
And I have a new favorite actor: Timothy Olyphant. At any rate, I loved the story, I loved the humor, I loved the romance, I loved everything about this movie. Whoa. This has become a staple in my movie library. I mean, I thought the kiss at the end of "The Lake House" was good, but the kissing scene in this movie put Keanu and Sandra to shame. And Garner's "She's f'in p.o.'d" line was just awesome. Well, I guess I should say "kissES" coz ol' Timothy knows how to add the sizzle and spice more than once in this movie. The comedy was surprising, in that you didn't expect it.
And that kiss. This movie is a work of art that captures all your senses - very well put together with wonderful chemistry between the actors. And that's the best kind of humor there is. And on top of everything else, the cinematography and soundtrack beautifully captured the spirit of the film.
It was entertaining all the way through. There was lots of laughter to offset the sad premise of this story.
There was nothing else in the movie to attract me.it was blah. The movie itself was a little disappointing. I thought all the best scenes were ones I had seen in the ads for the movie.
I received it in very good condition for it to be a used copy. I had a very good experience purchasing this item. It was delivered timely, the movie plays very well, the price was excellent and it was packaged well.
