Fantastic!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreI tought this was a good movie from the begining all up to their kiss. I liked story and was really interested in it. But then Andrew leaves and when he comes back he is in love with her? And they kiss? And at that point I just wondered if I had skipped a few scenes. This movie left me with a feeling that they had ok plot and story which they were going to elaborate but near the end they were like 'S*** we forgot about the whole romance thing between two main characters so let's just throw in a scene of them kissing and call it a day'. BUT I still enjoyed the movie ,it got me thinking about things which is a good thing so I'll give it 8.
View MoreThis movie is terrible. It is about dealing with the loss of a loved one, and how to move on. At least that is what the viewer is expecting. The plot is thin, the character played by Rebecca Hall may be the most annoying, egoistic and rude character in the history of film, and the attempt to making a decent "bring it home" ending solution at the final seconds makes this the worst movie I have seen this year so far.The only reason to why I rated this movie 3 is due to Jason Sudiekis, who at least tries to give life to the movie. As I have a tendency to always completing each movie, I hope I will never have to endure something like this again. Ever.
View MoreThis was really over-blown drama. A college professor wants to write a book about a songwriter who died young and meets tremendous opposition from his widow at the film's beginning. Everyone says she is still grieving. Nonsense. She is already having a sexual escapade with another man and her dancing at the local club wasn't exactly mournful either.This becomes a story of how a relationship builds between the professor and young girl. Blythe Danner, as her mother, is an interesting character. In the way she is speaking, you would swear that it was her son and not her son-in-law who died.The common denominator here for both the professor and young widow is suicide, and how it both touched them.Perhaps, it was the chilling cold of Maine that couldn't make me warm up to this film. Neither could the characters either.
View More"You're the one obsessed with death. My Hunter was obsessed with life." Hannah (Hall) is trying to cope with the death of her husband, and popular singer. She spends her life living in the past and trying everything to keep his memory alive. When Andrew (Sudeikis) shows up wanting to write a book about him he is met with resistance from Hannah. Little by little the more they talk they more they realize they both have something that will help the other one. This is a very good movie that is worth watching, but it also a tad bit generic and cookie cutter like. Most romantic comedies are though so going in I expected that. Sudeikis is great and funny as always, even though this is more serious than we are used to from him. In terms of romantic movies this is one that men will like, maybe more than women. Overall, a movie that I did like but was almost a little too cookie cutter like to be considered original. I give this a B-.
