Okay, maybe I missed a big part of this movie or something, but I cannot believe people are actually cheering to this! I'm sorry, but this movie was the biggest collection of weak romantic cliches I have ever seen. Jim Carrey is a good actor, he has given enough proof of that, but come on! You can literally tell what will happen in the next scene, when the fireworks will start and so on. I just sat through this movie, waiting for the moment it would turn out to be a parody..Sadly, that moment never came. But like I said, I could be wrong.

I think I can safely say that this movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. I had expected a lot more from Carrey, since he usually is capable of lifting a rather dull movie to a new level by means of unexpected turns or lines. However, I was deeply disappointed to find out that this movie is really nothing more than just an extremely good try to put as many cliche s as one can in a movie. And that with the man who made masterpieces of originality like The Cable Guy or Truman Show. Throughout the movie I got more and more irritated by the eversmiling faces of the townspeople and the fact that I could not only tell what would happen next, but also exactly how, with what camera-angle and which background. Except for counting cliche s, I have spend the entire duration of the movie waiting for the typical Jim Carrey joke that would reveal something that would change the whole movie, showing the viewer that it was not meant as a serious attempt to a bad movie. there were even times when I wondered whether I was watching a serious movie, or a comical. I don´t know what came into everyone in Hollywood when they let this script pass or into Carrey when he accepted this part. Please, can someone tell me that I am mistaken and that I have not understood the actual point of this movie? Please, can someone tell me it is not as terrible as it seems?

Okay, I'll be totally honest here. I rented this movie because Stephen Dorff was in it, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was actuallt a good movie, entertaining and well-written. Allright, so it may not be worth an Oscar, but hey, it never claims to be, does it? It's just a nice, wellcast movie that makes you think as well.

Too bad, Too bad, Keanu (possible spoiler)

And here was I, naive little me, thinking Keanu Reeves was a fairly good actor. Maybe having 320 gigabytes of information in one's head can do that to a man, but fact is Keanu's acting (and not only his) in this movie was terrible. The specials were okay, the story not even that bad, but please, give me a break from the cliche's, would you? Every single action-sci fi cliche possible is in this movie. Add to that the bad acting and confusing way of telling the story and you have yourself one bad movie. Too bad, Keanu, I've seen you do much, much better.
