Sweet & touching love story...

1st watched 2/17/2002 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Glenn Gordon Caron): Sweet & touching love story with wonderfully giddy performances from the main stars(Beatty & Bening). Despite obvious checkered pasts in the romance department this "love affair" is played out with a sense of purity and warmth that neither of them seemed to have in their prior relationships. I think this bonded them together(in their hearts) till the inevitable reuniting. Wonderful movie for Valentines day with a sweetheart with nice open-ended finally.
