This had all the makings of a love story that could touch many people with nice performances all around. So why not have a happy ending and insure a much bigger box office? The story unfolded in flash back and present day rotation. It told the story of pair of star crossed lovers who through circumstance broke up and went their separate ways only to reunited 20 years later.The present day leads, the versatile James Marsden and the lovely Michelle Monaghan turn in deeply moving performance from a sentimental screenplay...one that could have played out nicely with the lovers living happily ever after. That wasn't to be and although there was an attempt to put a brave face on the ending, it wasn't what people wanted.Also,Luke Bracey, who plays the younger lead, looks as old as Marsden and a bit taller.

Cheesy, lame, clichés all over...it's so bad that I can't understand how is it even possible! How can a director make so bad decisions. I don't get it.The actors are not convincing at all. Overall the acting was mediocre and the lines...my god...the dialogs are deplorable. All about this movie is bad. The soundtrack. The dialogs. The plot. The story. And what about the main character? when he was young he had brown eyes and a long face. Twenty years after he has rounded face and blue eyes. lol lol lol How can this be? how can this pass? And did I talk about the acting? so bad! and did I talk about the dialogues? And could it be any more chliched? I guess not.Ridiculous movie.

When my friend asked me out to see this film, I reluctantly agreed. I was very pleasantly surprised. My poor friend aged a lot over time, she looked for all of her life for a true love. She never found it. This film talks exactly about that. One of the lines mentioned is exactly that. Some people find true love, some look for it for whole of their lives and they never find it.Acting was OK for this type of film. Actors really tried their best to make this film work. Congratulations to them.Plot was nothing special, it was based on a book. It was OK for a romance film. I really liked it.I recommend this film, especially if you are looking for a romance film.
