Title: A good love story with a unique twist and fully-drawn characters
Review: Unlike with the overtly sappy "The Notebook," I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves have tremendous chemistry together, and that is the key to a successful love story. The fantasy aspect of the film doesn't bother me, as long as I can suspend my disbelief. The characters are very well-developed and they feel real. The slow pace helps us get to know the characters and allow us to piece the clues together. There is a mystery in there, too. While an earlier event might foreshadow what is to come later, by no means does it spoil the enjoyment of the movie and its satisfying denouement. Yes, there are plot holes and logical flaws and sometimes the timelines are difficult to follow as the editing becomes confusing, but none of them are fatal. For the hopeless romantics, this is a must-see movie.
