    • Quotes

      Ian Wyndham: I Love you.

      Samantha Andrews: Ooh I Love you too.

      Ian Wyndham: I wanna tell you why I love you.

      Samantha Andrews: It's... It's raining, you know that right.

      Ian Wyndham: I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.

      Samantha Andrews: I don't know what to say.

      Ian Wyndham: You don't have to say anything... I just wanted to tell you.

    Love's Best Film.
    I was lucky enough to see a preview screening of the movie & let me first say i hope one day the movie gets a USA-release...

    A small recap of the movie.

    (Jennifer Love Hewitt) plays Samantha a music student and aspiring singer/songwriter & lives with Ian her London based Boyfriend played by(Paul Nicholls} The movie starts of well & eazy but midway through it Samantha & Ian have a fall-out & thats where the wonderful part of the movie hits where a huge twist of fate occurs & the movie really takes of.

    I wont go much into that but it's a great story.

    Honestly, this by far is Jennifer Love Hewitt best work & i recommend it to all movie fans & Jennifer Love Hewitt fans will love it no doubt.
