David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...touching and genuinely romantic... Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 12, 2006 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com If Only this weren't one of the sappiest, stupidest, silliest, and most vacuously meaningless romantic comedies I've ever had the misfortune to waste 96 minutes of my life upon ... I'd have some nicer things to say. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 18, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com it's too maudlin and depressing to make for a good romantic drama and it's way too sappy to work as a drama/thriller Rated: 2.5/5 May 21, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Savin B Good story and acting(7/10) , but poor direction... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Tina K Sweet and predictable story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review robert p If Only this weren't one of the sappiest, stupidest, silliest, and most vacuously meaningless romantic comedies I've ever had the misfortune to waste 96 minutes of my life upon, it's horrible in every sense of a screen that I have no choice but to give it a *1/2* star rating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member my favorite movie of all time! watched it more than 20 times and i cried every single time. really the best movie ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member It was poorly executed and just worse than any D-CoM I'd ever seen. The end almost seemed to be a twist to pull a twist because the foreshadowing was lazy and sloppy. Also, seemed to imply that Samantha, the Jennifer Love Hewitt character's life was far more important than Ian's because ART. I know that's not what the movie was trying to clumsily say, but in the end this movie left such a bad taste in my mouth. It's also hardly any wonder to my mind why this film barely made a sixth of its budget back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best romantic movies ever. Made me cry. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
