It's not meant to be complicated
Was having a hard day and this movie just made me smile; that kind of smile that warms you up and lasts. It's not a 'chick flick', it's a movie for everyone; about growing up. How many times I've looked for something to fill an emptiness... only to find that the 'real good stuff' comes when you let go and take the leap of faith, follow your heart, etc. I can think of many loved ones I would recamend this movie to.

I give it five stars because for the message it's meant to give, for the beauty in which it portrays that message, just the fun of it, it was perfect! That says a lot! Watch it!!!

An unexpected pleasure
This movie really brought tears to my eyes. I thought it was going to be a comedy. Instead, it was a romance with very honest characters and an unusually realistic feel to it. I think this is the best role I've ever seen Jennifer Aniston play. Steve Zahn is someone I've liked but never saw him as a leading man.
The words 'leading man' hardly describe him in this movie. He is one of the two main characters (Aniston is the other) and he draws the viewer into his world. At first, you wonder if you really want to be in that world. Then, by the end of the movie, you feel like he could be your best friend.
I can't help but think of another movie, 'Being John Malkovich', that tries to bring the viewer into a world. Sure, that world is topsy-turvy but the point is: that movie doesn't succeed in doing that half as much as this movie does. And that movie was critically acclaimed. This movie has not gathered much notice but I predict it will gain a reputation and stay around for a long time. I've already thrown out my copy of 'Being John Malkovich'.
It takes 20 or 30 minutes to establish some things and it does this at a very slow pace. Stay with the movie - it picks up quickly and you love the characters, you just can't help it.

Feel good......another brilliant small movie
I agree with the other reviewers. Just a breath of fresh air and uplifting. I also needed a feel-good movie and it delivers. All actors are brilliant and it's just so amazing to see them move and mature..and grow. A bit of therapy perhaps for the self as well. Great movie for anyone.
