trying to decide if I should watch the movie..

I saw a screening of this last night and maybe I was just in the right mood for it, but I really enjoyed it. I'm not even a chick-flick kind of girl! It's best if you don't over-analyze the time-travel details and just go with it... it's a movie, after all. Seriously, I wasn't expecting that much and I got a better feeling from this movie than I have in a long time - it made me feel warm and happy. Plus, the whole theater laughed at some parts, plus people gasped and cried, and at the end everyone applauded. That's a good sign, if you ask me. I don't watch previews so I don't know what they give away about the plot, so I'm not going to give much of anything away here. I will just say that to me this was a uniquely told romantic story. I happen to like Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, although they are by no means favorites of mine, nor do I consider them to be consistently amazing actors (more often they're not... at least he's not...). But they made this story work for me and I believe they have good chemistry. The movie is set in Chicago and shows the city off nicely without trying to beat you over the head with it (a la The Break-Up). One thing I think I related to a lot with these characters is that they are both pretty isolated and lonely, although not in a sad-sack way. I felt a longing from them for someone to relate to, and even though they have opportunities for other people to be involved in their lives... well it's not what's best for them and they don't settle. Plus, the actors are both in their 40s and I like seeing love stories that aren't about either two 22-year-olds or a 40-year-old man and a 22-year-old girl.

Rent it only if you're a fan of either/ both Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves.
It's a movie that does not require much thought from the viewer as the plot is almost fantasy-like.
Overall, it really isn't that bad. The way the director captured the scenes, landscapes were depicted to look like a painting.
So it's your choice.

I'm a huge Keanu Reeves fan ...and Sandra Bullock fan...and I was really disappointed in the movie. Waste of talent.
Watch only if you are completely bored and have nothing to do. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
Hope that helps.

We thought it was pretty bad. The story/concept seemed full of holes and it was just plain boring besides.

Don't do it! I can't believe I paid money to see it in the theater.
It will leave you confused and annoyed
