I didn’t really have a strong desire to watch this movie on dvd, but there was nothing else at Blockbuster so i decided to take a peek. I have to say that i was very surprised. This movie has a lot of heart. It can get a bit corny, but love is corny. I must say that Julliette Binoche is lovely. She like a real and natural beauty. I’m a fan of Dane Cook’s older standup comedy, but he really shouldn’t be acting. He’s a terrible actor. Anyway, if you have to time, check out Dan in real life. It’s a touching family related love story. It shows you that love can happen even tho the circumstances are not so good.
Thumbs up!

I really liked this movie. It’s kind of slow paced, but didn’t mind it cause the cast was incredible. If you enjoyed Sideways, you’re sure to enjoy this flick. I think Ellen Page is going to be a real star in Hollywood. She’s a sexy dork/nerd type and one of the few teen actresses that can actually act. I never like Sarah Jessica Parker in movies, but must say that she was good in this one. Dennis Quaid is getting damn old. I remember him in the 80s with his wife Meg Ryan. He used to be a pimp back in the day.
The movie flows like “the squid and the whale.” It’s kind of like rushmore. The comedy is dry but the characters make the film feel genuine. The film has a lot of heart and i recommend it.
Thumbs up for smart people.
