I Got a Review ! (dvd)
14 May 2006
I choose to watch this movie on a purpose: expand my own experience in relationships.

Does the movie succeed? Well, this isn't a masterpiece that i would watch again & again to ponder about, but it is surely a good piece: The actors are excellent; maybe Ryan & Hanks will be remembered only for those romance castings, but they get the feeling for it, the chemistry between them and in a career, it is better to have one memorable label than no label at all. If you wait me to say, "Oh, it's like "Sleepless ...", or "they were better/worse in "Sleepless...", well, i hear about it but don't see it actually. And now, this is New York and this isn't the 1st town in the world for nothing.

The story is enjoyable: the trick of the loving writing and the bad meeting is a good one. There are almost two movies in one and the second part is interesting: how to save a failed relationship, and ironically, that's the actual point of my life.

The only drawback in this movie, like the constant big American productions, is that the characters evolve in the "high society". They have good jobs, fine housings, good friends, health.. In fact, their only worry is their feelings, which is per se almost "paradise".

I know it's movie and not life: the big difference is here: movie is happy ending & smooth progression; Life can be sad even if you try your best & the "fight" is every day... It's easy to understand why people (as me) like movie...
