A nice old-fashioned romance -- how refreshing.

An especially affecting love story!

Where it should soar with humor or longing, it merely skips along -- a stream of surprising and somewhat forced revelations.

Feb 20, 2010I actually enjoyed this movie. I admit I did have to start it over once about 10 minutes into the movie because I wasn't really paying attention and so I didn't know what was going on. The character of Johnny did make me uncomfortable though with how posessive and pushy he seemed to be. It certainly wasn't a brilliant movie but it was quirky.Megan S Super Reviewer
