There is quite a bit to like in this movie, but there are a couple of things that really bothered me. The acting is really good. I loved watching these couples fall in love and their relationships grow. I loved the flashback and narrator devices that were used to tell the stories.
I was very fond of both the male characters in the first part of the movie. But then both of the men make extremely devastating selfish choices to abandon their children. Even if I sympathized with their reasons, I could not forgive their actions. The women in these two couple really shine. They are the real heroes.
I can't really recommend this for anyone who is sensitive or depressed. It is not an uplifting movie. This is not a romantic comedy - more like a romantic tragedy with an ending that tries to gloss it all over.
