What a waste of my time!!!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This film has one of the best lines in Motion Picture history. It was spoken by Rosalyn (Roz) Willoughby (Joanna Going), in this film: Paraphrasing it a bit (I am a straight guy): "There are two things I always wanted to believe in but didn't dare. One is that there was one woman, somewhere, who was made just for me. The other is that I just might deserve her" This line sums up the picture and life in general perfectly. Roz is a very successful con artist who is on her way to a path of destruction (Either on her own, or by someone else) until she meets Fletcher McBracken (Brandan Fraser), who is her soul mate (He goes from San Antonio to LA, to try and save her (He has a gift passed down through generations which is through dreams, the ability to find their true love)). Can he break through her doubts and cynical nature and win her heart? The answer to that is obvious. Beyond that, this is NOT a "Chick flick", and it is a rarity (Which means she probably has never heard of this film (Let alone seen it)), and as a guy, you can sit through it without wanting to tear your hair out, so this would be a great Valentine's Day film to watch with your sweetie. One more thing: If she likes chocolate, do not forget the Godiva's for her while watching (Chocolate will pop up in the film, so spring them on her then). 10/10 stars.

This is hands down the best performance from Brendan Fraser EVER. He makes his "odd" character likable and charming, which was a big surprise...he's usually way too over the top for me. The movie has some slow moments (like most of the scenes involving Joanna Going's character and a Spanish dude, and some other girl who always shows her cleavage) but other than that the flick flows nicely. It's pretty low budget, but the score really makes you feel like you're watching a bigger movie - the score helps many moments in the film. The best thing about the movie is how it handles love and romance, which is done in a very subtle, methodical fashion that makes you really understand and associate with the characters. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for a different type of romantic comedy.

I can't remember how I came across this unheard-of movie a few years ago, but I am a fan of Brendan Fraser and so I settled back to watch it. I'd never heard one little thing about this movie before, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. There was a quiet magic about the whole story. It was a beautiful, peaceful, serene experience just to watch the relationship develop and to enjoy those stunning scenic shots. When the movie ended I felt so relaxed and refreshed! Some months later I had a chance to watch it again, and once again it was like a calming meditation. "Beautiful" and "Magical" are the only two words coming to mind to describe this movie. It's excellent, and I recommend it highly if you're in the mood for something sweet and peaceful that will make you feel much more alive afterwards. I give it 8 out of 10. Wonderful movie.

This little film makes a simple statement about the much touted "family values" that Conservatives love to invoke. In many respects, this should be a silly comedy based on fantasy and wispy romantic premises: con girl meets honest guy is overwhelmed by simple honesty and gives up her predatory life style. However, what makes it work are solid performances by Fraser and Going. Fraser has developed a real flair for comedy in his career. Too, Going has a delicate beauty and solid talent, which she showed off to great display in the TV miniseries NetForce in contrast to Scott Bakula's hamboning. All in all, this simple romantic fantasy works and is very enjoyable.
