Great movie. The ten year plan is revealed very early in the movie, if the premise is to your liking, you are in for a wonderful time. The acting is neither poor nor stilted, the delivery neither forced nor faked. Quite to the contrary, the plot, and especially the acting, is excellent for this genre.
The plot is well developed for a romance story. If you are hopelessly romantic, do whatever it takes to see this movie. You will feel every nuance, feel the body language, chuckle at the light humor, revel in the eye contact, and understand the mixed emotions and expressions of the characters. Wonderful portrayals by the actors.
Myles possesses all the qualities I admire in a person. People like Myles thankfully exist. I lived with, and dearly loved, one such man until his passing. The acting was spot- on.
Myles and Brody's interaction at the going-away party was excellent. Brody and Richards conversation at the bar, post party, was very well acted, humorous, perhaps not at all subtle, but still well done and enjoyable. Brody and Myle's loving embrace, and Brody's heartfelt chuckle after 'the kiss' was the highlight of the movie. It combined the release of all reservations, acceptance of love, and the final understanding of how wonderful life can be.
