A very good film!

Eleanor Tucker from Birmingham, England, 29th June, 2006

I was surprised to find that I did very much enjoy this film. The story line although on paper slightly ridiculous (a love affair bewtween two people that are living 2 years apart)was actually believable if you didn't question 'how' too much! Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are very watchable and have a good on screen chemistry. The characters were well developed and involving so I cared what happened to them. Some of the conversations between the two were a little cliche but in any love story there are bound to be lines that are just plain sickening example 'What do you like best?' response 'I like it when it rains just at the end of a picnic' !! Not Good! Aside from these tiny slips though this film is sweet and has a clever ending. A lovely film that is well worth a viewing.

Water-based

Mbub from Westbury, Wilts, 19th June, 2007

This movie is about a man in 2004 and a girl in 2006 who suddenly find that they can contact each other even though they are 2 years apart. I bit of a weird film this one and took a bit of thinking about. If you think about the time difference to much it will ruin the film value, so its best to see this movie as a love story, not a supernatural one. Good acting and funny and serious moments between both the main characters. Only the time thingy got in the way. 3 stars.

Fantastic!

A Customer from London, England, 3rd August, 2006

This is a perfect love story. The similarities, the twists and the way it's all pulled together. I didn't think Keanu could carry off a role such as this but I was pleasantly suprised, Sandra is always great in her roles. You will nto be disappointed with this movie. I would recommend this one as a perfect Chick Flick!

Even a guy liked this rom com!!!

A Customer from England, 22nd January, 2007

What more can I say, I sat down to watch a Keanu Reeves Rom Com movie. My expectations were not that great, if it hadn't been for my girlfriend I wouldn't even be watching it for sure. Having said that I found the filmreally intriguing, it isn't easy to make these sort of films without obvious holes in them. And whilst I thought at one point it didn't make any sense, at the end it does. I normally see the end well before it comes but in this case I missed it completely. It even brought a tear to my eye. A really clever if slightly implausible film with good acting and unique storyline. Would definitely recommend it. And all this is coming from a guy which must be the ultimate tribute to a rom com eh :-)

Utter nonsense

A Customer from Hammersmith, 1st March, 2010

I was excited by prospect of seeing these two in action together after Speed many years ago. But it is disappointing with a non-sensical plot which is trying to be clever but requiring you to suspend your disbelief to point of stupidity. It felt like the screenwriters themselves got confused half way through and just wrote the ending. Rubbish.

Romantic

dj22 from , 26th February, 2010

I enjoyed the film but I can imagine that it would not be everyone's cup of tea. Some will regard it as 'mushy' and I think you need to be a bit of a romantic. Is a little predictable in parts but if you like romantic and Sandra Bullock, I think you will enjoy this movie.
