"I saw this movie at a sneak preview with the local radio station. I was expecting it to be funny, just based on the trailers that I'd seen, and I wasn't disappointed. This movie struck me as being a grown up version of the goonies, with 3 childhood friends going on a treasure hunt that they never did while they were kids. There were a few slow moments, but through most of it, I laughed out loud! "
"I could throw some adjectives at this movie, but I doubt it would work. It's as if Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Jane Campion had a dairy-based love child and put it on Prozac.
If you are not currently in a happy relationship, watch with caution.
The commentary track is of the 'crawl inside the filmmaker's head' variety (as opposed to the 'look at our special effects' variety).
Other points:
Full of Russian orchestra music!
Karl Urban has been added to my Amazon wishlist, but they say he's backordered. He's like a dimply funny R. Feinnes.
Agoraphobic dog in a box!
Quilting!
Character named after fruit flies!

"While traveling in New Zealand my husband and I went to see this film in Christchurch. I feel very lucky to have seen it in New Zealand since I would never had the chance to see it back in the United States. It is a lovely surealistic tale of love, not the quest for love but discovery of the difficulties and beauties of found love. I never buy films yet am in waiting for it's release on VHS or DVD. I highly recommend this film as a lovely change to the consistently simlar hollywood love stories we all know!"
