perfect in every way
27 November 2001 | by daneeelj – See all my reviews

Usually I can find a weakness in any movie I've watched, but this movie's unique, as I can't find anything wrong with it... It's sometimes a sad movie, but not the kind of bleeding heart sadness in those awful modern comedy love stories. If you get the chance to see this movie, see it.
