How can I start praising this wonderful, incredibly romantic film? Many males probably label this a chick movie. But it is for anyone with a weakness for believable, touching movie romance.
Hauer and Pfeiffer are nothing less than a match made in heaven. They suit each other like sticks and sushi, Shafer and Letterman, you name it. They both take real, down to earth, understated approaches to their roles and in my opinion, it just comes off as one of the most emotionally charged pairings in motion picture history. And as an added perk, the boys can ogle Michelle and us girls can take a gander at Rutger.
The storyline is gripping, dramaturgically even and not too fanciful. The costumes are a matter of taste, but personally I like them. One of the film's tour de forces is also the magnificent, masterful editing.
The only things preventing this film from getting the full 10 are the dodgy music (which does work in places) and Brodericks performance, which comes of as offbeat and cute at first but starts to get a little bit under your skin towards the end.
