I guess my schmlatz tolerance was pretty high this night.

Despite the ridiculousness of the plot (this is the hightened melodrama Almodovar must have been channeling for All About My Mother), the performaces, especially by the extremely strong supporting cast, rise this romcom above the slew of its horrible peers. Maybe it's my gender, but I wasn't crying; although I enjoyed myself to the end. I can't believe I believed it.

Lovely story! Great acting, sweet script, totally touching without being depressing. A great "real life" blend of humor and drama. Nothing is taken too seriously, but nothing is taken too lightly. Some brilliant lines are written into this script. This is truly just a beautiful, timeless story that is a very worthwhile way to spend two hours!

Schmaltzy crap. David Duchovny looks bored throughout the whole film, Minnie Driver tries her damnedest to be Sandra Bullock, and with supporting actors like David Alan Grier and James Belushi even the comic relief moments are grating.

A sweet and happy romance.

I normally eschew such fare (a man discovers his new girlfriend is the recipient of a heart transplant courtesy of his late wife) but the cast and their naturalistic performances carry this above the glass ceiling for this genre.

David Duchovny and Carroll O'Connor. Does life get any better?

An endearing film. From the era where they were making true instant classics such as You've Got Mail and Armageddon.

Better than most of it's genre, it's okay. The characters were the best part, especially the four old men lols.

chick flick.

If you're a sucker for romantic comedies, no matter how puke-inducing, there may be enough here to satisfy. Most others will think the film's heart is in the right place, it's the brain that needs a transplant. [Full Review]

This is quite a touching little movie. The conversations, arguments and family life all have a very authentic feel to them.

breaks my heart

a fairly decent movie that is worth watching but is still another in a long line of romance/comedies/dramas. the acting is really good and the story is fascinating. but the movie gets boring and repetitive because it is slow paced.

The supporting cast is colorful & interesting, the leads are cute & manage the romantic scenes nicely. The plot is so god awful inane, impossibly unbelievable, and predictable to the letter, that the movie turns into an exercise in boredom.

Love the story, but not the subjugation of animals.

Nice story -- enjoyed seeing the X-Files references in the mise en scene. Another opportunty for Duchovny eye candy.
