Not Half Bad
I am actually shocked at how much I didn't hate this movie. I mean, sure the ending is totally predictable and you have to suspend your disbelief in many ways. First you have to accept that two people can communicate through time 2 years apart with the help of a magic mailbox and second you have to assume that Sandra Bullock's memory really really sucks, in fact it sucks so hard that she can't remember the name of a man she kissed in a moment of passion or the name of a patient who changed her life.
But all in all there is some serious chemistry between Bullock and Keanu Reeves, maybe I just have a serious 'Speed' hangover, but I love these two together. I don't like Reeves in too many things, but he is hot as hell here and I really believe his character. Bullock has some serious hair issues, but she is sweet and romantic in this role.
Sure the film is slow and you see it coming a mile away, but there is something to be said for a quiet little romance.

| The chemistry between Bullock and Reeves really is amazing, isn't it? I liked this movie...although I couldn't understand how it could happen...I guess that's where imagination comes in. Hmmm. |

| Yes, totally hard to believe, but such a heart-warming love story. I dont usually care for Keanu...even if he is hot, his acting is usually mediocre....but he does well in this movie and i actually developed a bit of a crush on him. ;D All in all...a good movie. |

| Well, I like movies that make your mind travel and believe things that really don't exist, such as The Butterfly Effect, etc. Sandra Bullock didn't remember him before the kiss, but if you recall, when she was in the bar with her friend, she said something like...Ohhh my God!!....this was the EXACT MOMENT she figured out it was him. Because that was the second he kissed her in the past, employing time overlaps, parallel universe themes and the like, which makes this movie kind of interesting and crazy at the same time. |
