"you learn, if you're lucky, that love isn't something you save for a rainy day.", 5 June 2001
9/10
Author: nitewind6 from Alexandria, VA

I watched this movie about three times. I think many people will see themselves, at least at some point in their life, as one of these characters. It may seem slow for those who want action.. but this is one of those movies that makes you think.. and hopefully teaches that if we don't communicate what we want, how can we expect to be understood? You have to make life work.
