I am very surprised at how much I liked this movie. Being the star is Robert Pattinson, whom I know is a big thing cause of the stupid vampire movies right now, but I just don't get it. He's so not good to look at. Anyway, it seemed like a girly movie I'd like so I had to give it a shot. Also, have to get it back to the library tomorrow when it's due since I don't get my special 'who cares if it's late' perk because I don't work there anymore. I also had not heard anything good or bad about it so wasn't really sure what to expect. Read the back which said it took place in the summer of 2001. I thought that was great because, sort of like the Mosque they want to build at Ground Zero I think it's still a sensitive issue and not something I really want to see in a movie.
Popped it in and was quite confused at first. The opening scene and the second scene, ten years later, have completely different people in them. I was like "who the Hell are these people?" It's sorted out quickly enough but I wasn't really liking them. Was tempted to turn it off but the story was interesting so I kept it going. The characters grew in who they were and on me. The story got better and better. In reality people may not change that quick and that easy but oh my god what an ending. I'm sure it would not have surprised my husband since he loves to figure things out ahead of time. I like going for the ride and enjoying it and the feelings that come along with the surprises of it. I'm glad he didn't watch it with me as he may have ruined it and I so hate that.
It may not have the best actors but it has one of the Best Stories I have seen in a long time. There is a quote on the back of the dvd case saying how it "will become a part of you." I absolutely agree with it. I don't mind action or special effects in my movies but if it doesn't have a story what's the point in watching? At least I don't see one. If you're like me you'll love this movie.
