Fairly enjoyable. Not a film I would tell everyone they 'must see', though
Jus
says
Love Jen! pretty predictable though.
Andrew
says
A romantic drama without too many light moments. More of a midday movie with some star power. A bit sappy and predictable.
RDC
says
Can I please have my 90 minutes back? Only for serious Aniston and Eckhart fans.
Tracy
says

Loved it
Charlotte
says
This film is ok but i was a bit bored as it is quite slow moving and i usually like Jennifer Aniston.

This was a lovely film, where man meets woman, who didn't really want to meet man and helps him deal with the great tragedy of his life, the death of his wife in a car accident in which he was driving. It also showed how family relationships are never what they seem and that you shouldn't assume things.
Good flick

Kind of good. Well performed. Predictable and possibly too schmaltzy at the end. It's easy to watch Jennifer Aniston and she works well.

I am not an anniston fan particularly, but this was entertaining enough, worth a look for sure.
Lesley
says
Didn't finish watching because it kept stopping and freezing - very frustrating
moviebuff

A bit predictable, slow and the same old story line.
Shona
says
Wasn't the movie I thought it was going to be. Entertaining enough, but wouldn't watch it twice.
Narelle
says
I found this a typical love story, but still great to watch.

It was another Jennifer Aniston film. Aaron Eckhart was good in his role. He seems to play his parts well - not academy standard but consistent and watchable. It was a formula film though.
Scottycat
says
Mildly entertaining.
Jen
says
I wanted something light, but this is really quite depressing. The main character is on a journey. Wouldn't watch it again - ever.
Lyn. B
says
Awesome movie. Loved the whole thing
Meagan
says
I'm a huge Jennifer Aniston fan, so I really enjoyed this movie! Really easy viewing. A lovely, if slightly predictable, romcom.

Okkkaayy!! Not my favourite. Add it to the bottom of the barrel end of your chick flick collection.
susan

Not the best, won't recommend
bp
says
Average 'b' grade chick flick. Wouldn't recommend to any of my friends.
Jess
says
BORING!
Laura
says
OK for a chick night in
TL
says
I would call this a sad romance. Not heaps of comedy but there are a few gems in there. It is a bit deep etc and I thought it good.
chantalep
says
Quite a nice film. Not the usual rom-com stuff. Worth a look if you are after something a bit "deep".
EVE
says
NICE MOVIE A BIT SLOW BUT GREAT ENDING!
kristy
says
This movie was shocking - in the worst sense. Like a good romantic comedy but this was bland, humourless and boring. Didn't even watch the end
Jac
says
great fun

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, it turned out to be very good, an unusual story of surviving grief and loss after the death of a partner and/or loved one, the lead actors played their parts well and you go through a whole range of emotions with them and the storyline is 'different'. I would recommend this movie if you want a movie with a bit more than the usual run of the mill romantic comedy.
Janet
says
Found this movie a little boring didn't watch it all
Mel
says
Nice love story, but found that it dragged on a bit... got about 3/4 of the way through and was checking how much longer it had to go!

The only reason why I gave this movie a 2 star rating is the 4 minute segment when he let the Cockatoo go, I thought it was hilarious. I actually watched that part twice.
Luisa E
says
I can see what they were getting at but didn't think they quite got there.
D
says
A very true and emotional journey for the main actor. Everyone can relate to this film on one level or another, Jennifer Aniston plays a real soothing girl who just wants to help someone she really feels for.

thought this would be an ok movie to watch for an afternoon viewing. Turned out quite unexpectantly good viewing. Jennifer Anistion whilst still in her good girl next door type role was fresh in this movie with Aaron Eckhart protraying his charactor in style. great supporting cast.3 and 1/2 stars for this one.
