Really Surprised!
Lack of good storyline.
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
View MoreInstead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreI know I'm in the minority here, after having read several glowing reviews of this movie, but I felt the need to chime in nonetheless. Perhaps I'm not the right sort of audience for this kind of movie, since I usually find these rom-drams (romantic dramas) horribly saccharine and cheezy, and this one was no different -- in fact, moreso than most.First off, let me just get one little tidbit off my chest, and here's a warning: SPOILERS BELOW! Why the heck would someone, knowing that their wife has a heart condition that makes her susceptible to heart attacks, plan a surprise party, of all things, for her birthday?!? Am I the only one who finds this ludicrous? Did the writers never stop to think, oh, maybe that's not a good idea? I haven't read the book, so I don't know if that part was in it or not, but come ON! It made me conjure up my own little sub-plot, where hubby Matt was actually trying to kill his wife, and considering how everything turned out in the end, where he gets his convenient little ready-made family to replace the former one, well, it's not such a bad plot, and maybe it would've made a better movie.MORE SPOILERS!! I knew the wife Suzanne was going to die from the get-go. I mean, come on, they establish a delicate heart condition, and they show the new girlfriend reading her diary, and I've seen enough of these types of movies to know the formula, so it was just a matter of figuring out when and how. That's really the main reason I finished watching this ridiculous drama.But of course they have to throw in some moralizing along the way: Suzanne shouldn't have a baby, it's really dangerous for her, she's a doctor and knows the risks -- but rather than do something sensible like adopt a child who could use a good home, she goes ahead and has a baby anyway, because isn't that a woman's true function in life? To be a mother? And, you know, abortion is bad -- even when a pregnancy presents a serious risk to a woman's health, she should just go ahead and have the baby anyway, because then her life is fulfilled! YET MORE SPOILERS: Oh, and speaking of abortions, the little twist where Kate gets pregnant presented another moral conundrum. Apparently it's okay for a woman who's casually dating some guy (which is how the movie seemed to present their relationship) to just skip a pill or two, on the off-chance that it "might work out" with her boyfriend. Seriously, that's what Kate tells her doctor when he asks why she missed her pill. I guess she just decided to take it upon herself to maybe get pregnant, without ever bothering to even discuss that with her boyfriend! But god forbid she should get an abortion, because that's just wrong! No, she too should just go ahead with this unplanned pregnancy, because she's a woman, and women are just baby-makers, and it'll all work out in the end! Ugh. I think that one word sums up my thoughts on this movie as a whole. Everything about it was designed to be a tear-jerker, and judging from the rest of the reviews, I guess it worked, but I was left at the end feeling annoyed and preached to. Like I said earlier, if you want to watch it from the perspective of this would-be writer plotting to kill his rich doctor wife so he can move into her nice big house, well, that might make a more interesting storyline than this ridiculous melodramatic twaddle.
View MoreI believe this movie is underrated. I would give it 8/10. I have not read the book so I really have nothing to compare it. The movie is Predictable, but it has a final twist at the end which I love. I love movies with a final twist at the end like Safe Haven, meant to be, the notebook and so many out there. The actors were very believable and just as others have said here its two stories in one. Two women and one man. Each story of the same man Mathew with a different woman. In one Mathew the fun guy, the one that has a child inside, the positive and happy man. That is the man Suzanne got to know. By the other side Mathew the guy that has lost his spark, quite, hard to understand, with sad eyes and with a secret inside.This movie made me cry towards the end. I consider worth watching and do not see why someone could give it a bad review. I was entertained all the way from start to finish waiting to see what was the mystery Nicolas had in his life. Of course at the beginning you kind of figure it out but the ending reveals something not expected.
View MoreI extremely love this movie. I REALLY want it to come out in video so I can buy it, and I certainly know others will too. This movie is one that when I saw it I cried, laughed. It was the best, I really want to see it again but don't know if they're ever going to come out with DVD or VHS or give it again on TV. If someone is reading this and knows how to communicate with the people who make movies. Please suggest to make this a movie on DVD or VHS.If you haven't seen this movie yet well I suggest that you get someone to tell you or someone who recorded it for you to see it. I'm so desperate for it to come out in video because I've been waiting so long for it to come out. Thanks
View MoreI just read the book a week before the movie came out on CBS and had cried my eyes out. I had no idea they were making a movie until a friend told me who was currently borrowing the book from me. I watched the movie which it came out on Easter Sunday and loved it. It was as good as the book or should i say better, the whole time i watched it i had a not in my throat, wanting to cry. I hope they put this on DVD because i love girlie movies and books and when they make the movie i love to see how it compares to the book. If you've seen the notebook or even read the book you'll love this movie and book. I can't help but write love so many times because that's how good it was and how much it touched my heart. Christina and Jonathan were awesome actors in the movie i don't know if being married in real life helped them out but if so they did a great job.
