2/4
The whole movie, in fact, is filled with good small moments; it's the big moments that don't seem convincing. Go to Full Review Paul Attanasio Washington Post 01/01/2000
The movie, in other words, is insufferably quaint, and not a lot else. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/04/2005

erdene c 07/22/2024 I believe that the events of the film will give poeple inspiration and confidence.Tifanny's acting is excellent See more Bahad j 07/20/2024 It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie. See more Munkhjargal A 07/20/2024 this movie is about adventure, she breaks up with a guy but she doesn't want to fall but she manages to get back up. He did not think that a second life would appear again, it is amazing that he fell in love with her. It's a great movie that gives people the courage to get up after being depressed. See more Steve D 08/30/2023 Only a few moments of any entertainment value. See more 04/08/2020 I think this is a nice little film about an offbeat girl in an offbeat town who falls for an offbeat guy. I really like the script and the performances by Rosanna Arquette, Eric Roberts and Jim Youngs. See more 01/08/2016 Okay romance, nothing too special. Arquette's acting elevated the film a bit for me, plus I like the 80's vibe it has (it even has Dokken music). See more Read all reviews
