Kinda feel like I'm the only one who got what Cameron Crowe was going for with this movie. There's nothing else that has quite the same combination of bittersweet sadness, humor, and hope. Plus an absolute BANGER of a soundtrack.

A movie with some touching moments, but not really "8/10 great". What makes it special for me though, is that the role of Claire Colburn offers the exact mixture of charm and emotional ride between sadness to joy, that is perfect for Kirsten Dunst.

Nice movie and it's sound track and comedy makes the movie more special

I had resisted watching this movie for several years because of the mediocre reviews. Boy, was that a mistake! I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. I can't remember seeing a movie quite like this one. It is very much an indie black comedy that has a touch of absurdist fantasy, but wrapped inside of a Hallmark movie. What other movie can say that? The one thing that it isn't is a rom-com, and I suspect that is why so many people didn't "get" the movie. Dunst and Bloom are perfectly cast, and more importantly, are pitch-perfect in their roles. Despite the backdrop (the death of the family member, although nobody is sad about it), the movie is filled to the brim with hope. Normally we only see this out of one main character - I can't ever recall seeing it out of both. Of course, none of this works without the dance that goes on between the two leads. They aren't together, but they (and the audience) know the truth. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

>"Course, you and your dad were close." "Oh, very close. I knew him very, very well. He was my dad! We were actually gonna drive here together, this year. Then it became next year, and—now.... I knew him very well. Very, very well. Very well." "Yeah, I don't know my dad very well either." Best soundtrack of all time?
