SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Just so...so bad

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

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 starts as a simple romantic movie between Fielding Pierce ( Billy Crudup ) and Sarah Williams ( Jennifer Connelly ) then moves on smoothly into the complexities of politics ( domestic and international ).. the strength of honesty against power of incumbency.. the pain of loss of a dear one is reflected in a very authentic way..the direction is mature .. Jennifer Connelly is as beautiful as ever.. she expresses the conviction of Sarah in a very natural way.. Above all it is Billy Crudup..I am surprised that he got no recognition for the movie, though I found his acting in this movie one of the best I have seen by any actor.. he has done justice to the various roles he had to play in the movie--- the lover boy, the man in love, the family man, a good son, a good brother ( both to his brother and to his sister ), the confident Naval Office to the aspiring politician, from a near-nervous wreck to making an awe- inspiring short speech, a winner one moment and the man who bares his heart completely to his family members in the next moment... The forwards and rewinds in the time-line is bit too frequent, but all the same it is an excellent movie..

I have read the negative reviews and find I do agree with many of them. The movie moves slowly, and has many boring parts. However, the overall feeling when I was finished was, haunted and perplexed.Jennifer Connelly , well she is just Jennifer, and an incredible looking woman. She is worth the price of the movie, just to see her on the screen, even the small screen. Billy Crudup, well I really did not notice him much.Interestingly, this is Jennifer's second film regarding the same activism subject. She also starred with Antonio Bandares in a movie called "Love In The Shadows", about the same subject. I do not think she has any ties to this subject, that took place when she was a three year old growing up in Catskill, New York. I think Jennifer just plays her parts very well and really gets into her roles. The movie also focuses on the US political system, and election process. The movie comments on reasons people do not like the US politicians and reasons for someone to want to be involved in it.Most of all, if you stay with this movie from beginning to end, you will have a question, by the end. You will never really answer it, either. When you see the DVD, you may feel an erie need to answer it, by looking through everything on the DVD and re-watching the movie. But you'll never get an answer. But you should see it and decide for yourself, what you think the answer is.

A film about a couple whose love for one another combats strongly with their political beliefs and future plans that focuses too much on the politics and too little on the romance. We get very brief introductions to the characters and then out of nowhere they go on a date and are madly in love. The intimate scenes only succeed so well due to the beautiful chemistry of Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly who both deliver some powerhouse performances. The political aspect of the film is dull and drags quite a bit, but every time Jennifer is re-introduced into Crudup's life it draws you back in. The finale is thought-provoking and sentimental, but the strength of the scenes with Crudup and Connelly alone together only weakens the quality of the rest of the film.

I Just want to say that this movie touched me deeply. I was so impressed with the kind of love that the two main characters have for each other. So pure and powerful. Thank you for making a movie that show such unconditional love in a wonderful way.Great script. I will watch this movie again just to hear them and learn from them. The movie surely gives something for the viewers to think about.Excellent performance from Billy Crudup and Jennifer Connelly. I think everyone who has seen this film will agree with that.Overall, I recommend this movie to those who has a deep yearning to feel the touch of unconditional love,those who have great ambitions about doing good to society, and anyone...anyone at all who like to watch a movie that is not shallow.Oh, by the way, love the song at the end of the film. (Snow Come Down) It sums up everything. When you really really love someone, you just want to love him.That's all. You just want to sit and watch the snow come down with him. That's all. Because love itself is enough. No need to ask for anything else.
