Un amour à New York

... and I don't just mean Cusack either *grin*

Now, normally, I loathe romantic comedies. Wait, allow me to re-say that, I L-O-A-T-H-E romantic comedies. However, I had seen the trailer for this one several times on front row and I couldn't resist!

Okay I'll admit, I only watched this movie at first for Cusack, but I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot, though simple and obvious, played out nicely with alot of little messages in.

The humour was great (Jon's friend was great and the store clerk at bloomingdales had me falling off my seat laughing - rock on Jim's dad!)

Anyway, in more detail... I loved the way they brought the whole fate thing into it - the fiver dollar bill, the book... also I liked the subtle signs that each character was shown.

The acting was great and the jokes were genuine and funny. The only thing that annoyed me about the movie was the little kid in the devil suit... god, how many people's "little brother" is he, eh?

In closing, this movie is enjoyable, simple and romantic. If you're in to Die Hard movies ONLY, stay far, far away my friend. If you're open minded and/or romantic, then step right up and watch a great movie.
