That was an excellent one.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It was totally surprising just how great this movie is. I watched and now I want the movie. Outstanding performances Jason, Maise, and Jessica.

Seems someone wanted to write/make a semi -serious movie about love and death - compete with To Kill A Mocking Bird type profound voice over. Just one problem, the profoundness first suggested - falls apart and gives way to foolish situations. The main character roles were more annoying than thoughtful & the whole thing leads to an even sillier ending. Some OK touches along the way get lost in superficial writing and overall, it feels like the movie makers may have been afraid of appearing 'sensitive' - so, attempted to play it in off-the-wall -mod-teenybopper mode. This approach was doomed because of the overall serious nature of the main plot. The end result; handfuls may go along with it but, very few. Minor Justin Timberlake score (the producers hubby) ads a little interest.

The people we hold dearest may leave us suddenly, without notice, and without having all those things we yearned to do in ways spoken and hidden within ourselves. Henry lost his wife and somehow redeemed his life through the ministrations of an orphaned young woman. They could each see through each other's defenses to the dreams and damage within.What more could they do than to set sail, on a raft of their own making, crafted from lives past on the way to endless horizons in the future.Do not overlook this movie! Unless you have never loved and lost anyone, in which case, skip it.

The Book of Love was a great feel good movie with chance encounters and picking up pieces after a tragic event. Very good serious acting role for Jason Sudiekis who is normally known for his comedy roles and SNL. This was a very touching movie worth watching for adults as well as others. The music by Justin Timberlake was certainly an added bonus. Well done...!!!
