  The best part of the film was the end.
  
  A piece of cardboard has more emotion than Keanu Reeves.

  Would be an awesome film, great story, however Keanu was the worst choice of actor ever. Keanu's bad acting made the sad bits funny.

  Girlie film alert
  
  I was told to see this film by a friend as I was a lover of soppy chick flicks! It certainly lived up to its label.

  Really enjoyed this film. Keanu and Charlize were fab. It's a very easy watch, and heart-feeling too. Worth watching. :o)
