Not a bad movie. Although, considering that it has both Hilary Swank and Kathy Bates in it, it really should have been better. |

I loved this movie. I liked the idea of leaving behind something for your loved ones to help get over you. I cried a lot during this movie, so if you haven't seen it i highly recommend it! |

For Both Cynics and Romantics |
|
I liked the film for many reasons but there is no reason for it to be more than two hours long. Its running time actually dragged the story down and I grew increasingly restless. I thought Hilary Swank did a good job as a grieving widow. Even though I'm used to watching her play tough women (and though she looks tough in this picture as well), she has many soft moments. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for Swank because I enjoy every movie she's in. Gerard Butler did a good job as well even though every time I see him, I imagine him yelling, "This... is... Sparta!" and then I couldn't help but laugh to myself. But my favourite is Kathy Bates' character because she's the most connected with reality. Even though she may sound kind of tough at times, I agreed with everything she said, especi... |

Too much sappiness, not enough realism. |
|
The film starts out trying to focus on the realistic fighting of a marriage, and simply annoys the viewers right away. The film gets better, but the main fault here is casting. Hilary Swank doesn't do well as the typical romantic comedy role. She is a terrific actress whom typically strong dramas, as stronger and more complex female characters. The rest of the cast, such as Kathy Bates and Lisa Kudrow, do excellent supporting work. All of this teamed up with Harry Connick Jr.'s less than stellar performance in a basically pointless role, throws this one to the curb, where it belongs when there are better and more romantic films out there, such at Atonement. |

Ghost of Leonides |

not enough of gerard butler. I liked this movie the journey to heal after losing someone really touched me. Also she watches a bunch of old movies, all of which I recognized, it made me happy. The end is a little trite, but on the whole a watchable movie. Any guys around shoudn't be to tortured by it. It makes me wish that the people I've lost in my life would have written letters to me. |
