L M Always coming back to see this movie mainly because of the story. I rarely cry, but when I need to cry because of being sad, or randomly I want to cry not because of being sad, this is the movie. start to end just crying like hell yeah this feels right. I don’t care about the casting, everything is beautifully made. mostly because the story is good and touching. Love it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Patricia L This film is so underrated. It is a love story. Maybe it is because it talks of the reality of death and how to cope. I saw this film not long after my husband had passed after his cancer battle so I could relate. This film helped me with my grieving process. I bought my own DVD copy and I must have played it many times. I thought the cast was excellent. I also loved the music. The story is sad, funny, and hopeful. The critics were far too harsh on this film; I do not understand why. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Yellowfur D Back to sci-fi. I cried from beginning to end. I think the screenwriter is too good, the foreshadowing of the first paragraph is short and concise (this scene is the best in the whole film), so I started to cry when I watched the second act. When will I be able to write a story like this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review farid I HATE THE GIRL SO MUCH,LIKE HOW YOU STILL BE ABLE BE COMFORTABLE WITH WILLIAMS AFTER YOU KNOW THAT HE WAS YOUR HUSBAND BESTFRIEND??????!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Salem K Read the book, avoid the film. I read that book in two sittings and it was beautiful and funny and we'll written. I cried so much and it's a book I still love. The film just wrecked the story. It's supposed to be set in Ireland, about Irish childhoods sweethearts, and there's not a bunch of obnoxiously Americans mispronouncing places. Gerard Butler's accent is horrendous, he should've just kept his Scottish accent. Holly never slept with someone else, they missed the entire point of the beautiful story. HATE it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/23 Full Review Nicole A I love this movie. It's one of my favorite love stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
