n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

One great movie really. A drama showing several parallel life stories that intertwine. The motives represented in this story may have been often used in film art, but it doesn't matter at all, they do not diminish the quality of it , and the way how film was made, the plot and dissolution, gives it a completely unique seal, so that the film is one of the top for each recommendation.

I don't write typical reviews because I'm not really smart enough. I'll leave that for those willing to be bright enough to cover all the dimensions of a film. That being said, this movie appeals to your heart and makes you feel something. A little about love, a little about loss, and a little about how important honesty is in relationships and in life in general. It tells you that most importantly, you need to be honest with yourself, but also you really need to find out what to look for in this great journey of life.I believe Morgan Freeman led a excellent cast of actors, but what I noticed more in the narrative was his distinct voice of reason that Mr. Freeman is so exceptional with in every film he does. So, if you decide to take my advice and spend a couple hours away from your routine to take in this wonderful little film, try to view it from a perspective that its message of thoughtfulness, courage, and heart might endure long after its over.I also enjoyed some great acting efforts from the always good Greg Kinnear and the Aussie Radha Mitchell, which I think are worth mentioning separately, but the whole cast was good. The film basically follows five distinct relationships (six if you count Morgan Freeman's marriage) as they fall in love, stay in love, or fall out of love. The story line is a little chaotic and improbable at times, but like I said in the beginning, sometimes you have to spare the analysis, and let the experience just gobble you up and let you go. The better films will do that. Happy viewing!

I suppose some people cannot relate to a movie with no explosions or car chases, so they will not like this one. There were some good performances, but the film is not flawless. The first "love-feast" in the film just sort of drops off the radar screen, after making one wish to know more about how that relationship went. And Morgan Freeman is sort of getting typecast in the old sage role, but at his age, and with that voice, it might be inevitable. While I might not have cared a lot for Alexa Davalos' character, she played it well, and looked great doing it. Same for Radha Mitchell. The film, along with Freeman, muses a lot about the nature of love. If you can stand this type of film it is well worth checking out.

I can't believe anyone could rate this above a 5. Even sappy people will groan at this film. The characters all seem to be mentally retarded and have the emotional depth of 10 year olds. Really, this is a painfully bad movie that I would have walked out on except that I was too lazy to reach for the remote control which had fallen on the floor.Borderline soft-core porn is fine if you can actually believe it, but this movie was just a joke. The scene where Morgan Freeman wanders into the stadium to see two people getting it on actually made me laugh out loud, then I realized the only way to watch this film is to treat is as a joke, laugh and make Mystery Science Theatre 3000 style comments and you will have a good time.
