Good "Girls Night In" Film - By: Ms. J. A. Biggs, 16 Nov 2008
The film was great to watch. Several songs were good & it was overall a enchanting film. The only let down was the ending but other then that it was a really good film.

Not as good as the book - By: littleskippy, 28 Oct 2008
I have just watched this movie & must say I was quite disappointed with it overall. I just could not get my head around Hillary Swank & Gerard Butler playing the parts of Holly & Gerry.

There were a few sad parts & I thought Kathy Bates was brilliant. I could not see the relevance of Lisa Kudrow beingin it. It seemed a pointless part (but I do like herin other movies or on Friends).

A bit long at 2 hours - thankfully I saw it on my own on DVD & not at the cinema as I think by partner would have hated it.

Blow your nose on this! - By: B. Elliott, 27 Oct 2008
Sceptical, sceptical, that's what I was. I never thought I would be able to enjoy a comedy film about heroin addicts, alas I was wrong! Join brother & sister Max & Lisa on this ''far out'' adventure as they scrape through life chasing that illustrious dragon. They both die at the end.

Not all bad - By: AJ-27, 29 Sep 2008
I watched this with my girlfriend & she (like a lot of women I hear) wasin floods of tears.

Call me a "typical bloke" if you will, but I was not emotionally drawn into it. I didn't see any chemistry between Swank & Butlers characters so never really bought their relationship. I thought Swanks character had better chemistry with that of Connick Jrs.

Anyhow, it's an ok film with some funny moments - had the casting been a bit better I too may have had a tearin my eye

A good, teary chick flick - By: Ms. Claire Finlayson, 28 Sep 2008
I loved this film, seen it twice at cinema. A lot of people found it a little disappointing, but I suppose it really depends on what you are after. It is about a woman who loses her husband to a brain tumour, early onin their lives, & he writes letters to help her move on, little quests if you like. It is moving, & really makes you think about those you love, & if you lost them. I thought the book was by far better than the film, but often, this is the case. The harry potter books are miles better than the film adaptations so there you go. What I liked about this film: gerard butler-is gorgeous, & worth keeping an eye out for. He is a sexy irishmenin this. Hilary Swank is not her bestin it, but that could be due to the fact that it is not her usual sort of role. It is a good movie if you want the girlies round, & just need an excuse to crack open that bottle of wine & use them tissues. Get it, & see.
