  I would say this is a great movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Just leave your brain somewhere else whilst you watch it and enjoy!

  Emotional rollercoaster
  
  An emotional ride with a sad story if this doesnt touch your heart then you need to check that you still have one. Im a bloke and i nearly cried watching this.

  Hmm...
  
  Predictable, by the numbers, romantic drama.
  
  Surprisingly watchable though, depsite the generic approach.

  Usual formula type romantic film, but very watchable. Ben Affleck plays his part fairly well, but Gwynneth Paltrow far outshines him. Just settle back and enjoy... read more »
