robertazzo I do agree with the other reviewers it is a touching story line if you can get past the annoying performances of Marisa Tomei and Rosie Perez. Tomei overacts throughout the movie, actually appears to be struggling with the part. Rosie Perez as usual brings to mind, what was Hollywood thinking? Over the top annoying accent, worse than the chalk on the blackboard annoyance. This is the second film Rosie ruined for me, after It Could Happen To You.Christian Slater is the only redeeming quality with his flawless performance. Without Tomei and Perez the film is a 10.

vincentlynch-moonoi I'm not going to heap praise or scorn upon this film. It deserves a little of both, but it's an "okay" film.I guess it's successful in one sense at least -- Christian Slater's character does creep me out. But, he also made me think about all the people in our midst who are just a little odd and who are living very lonely lives because of it. So, overall, I would have to say this was a fairly good performance by Slater.Although she's busy enough, I've long felt that Marisa Tomei is an under-appreciated actress. I wouldn't say this is one of her finest roles, but she's good enough in it.Rosie Perez is here as a supporting actress. I don't follow her much, but it seems that every time I do see her in a film that she's playing sort of the same character. Is she type cast? In terms of the story, my complaint is that Slater's character is just a bit too weird to make it work really well. Sort of like the screen writer couldn't finesse anything...just went to an extreme caricature. I note that a couple of our reviewers pointed out that for a winter-time film there were an awfully lot of green leafy trees in a few of the shots. True, although I wouldn't have thought about it if it hadn't been mentioned here.This is an okay film, but it certainly won't end up on my DVD shelf.

anniesm10 I just discovered this movie recently! I was looking for a romantic movie and after reading the opinions on here about it, I decided to give it a try and buy it! I did like Christian Slater in Robin Hood, Murder in the First, Kuffs, to name a few, but after this movie he is totally at the top of my favorite actors' list!!! His performance was so true, so moving!! As for Marisa, I didn't really knew her before this movie, but she was also truly amazing in her role!! They make such a cute, believable, perfect couple!! I usually try to keep the tears in when watching a movie with someone else, but this time, I just couldn't!! Truly one of the most romantic, touching movie I've ever seen!! I wish there was more movies just like this one!

blockrockinbeats_04 I just saw this movie for the first time about an hour ago, I loved it! I'm a sucker for a good romance, whether or not it was unrealistic doesn't really matter to me. Every girl hopes that one day her world will be transformed because of a guy as sweet as him. The only thing that sucked was that he died of course, there was no happily ever after, but she got a chance to see how much of an effect one person can have on another person and obviously that changed her forever.I have this book called "10,000 Ways To Say I Love You", in it is a list of the 21 most romantic movies of all time, this movie was on the list, for any of you who find that interesting.
