    Wonderful movie which captures and emanates love
    This is a movie which manages to capture the feeling of love. It is a movie that shows decent and loving people being extremely human with each other. There is a kindness that permeates throughout the movie which makes it a pleasure to watch.

    The movie creates a warm feeling inside like very few other movies can. Cousine, Cousine (French version) is another movie that also reaffirms the joy of being human, even though the characters and story may not be totally believable.

    The main characters in the Creator are people you want to be friends with. The movie uses humor and some great and thoughtful lines to remind the viewer that life really is about love.

    Even the music by Giovanni adds to the feeling of warmth that is constant in this movie.

    As other people have said I can tell you from experience that this is the type of movie you show a potential mate and see how they react.

    One of my very favorite movies.
