One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Because that's the only way you're going to feel like a man again after watching this shite. I may be damaged for life. Went to see it with this chick I met online. She really wanted to see it when they showed it at the Carriage House theatre and it was our first (and only) date. A short description of why it doesn't even deserve one star: The writing is sickening... seriously so bad I laughed out loud in the theater at some of the ridiculously stupid things the characters say in this film. Imagine the most cliché "love story" lines and now imagine worse and you still won't come close to comprehending how bad it was. t was even worse than I thought it would be. I thought it would just be incredibly boring but in truth it turned my stomach. I need medicine now. Had to excuse myself to use the restroom, went in there and splashed some water on my face (from the faucet, you sicko), went to my car and drove the eff out of there. By myself. Yep, ditched that stupid slag and she had to find her own way home. Didn't feel bad cuz she didn't know my real name. That's what internet dating is all about, am I right? But I digress. SPOILERS COMING NOWThe only good thing about the movie is Charlotte (Winona's character) dies at the end. I hated that sexy pig and wish she would have died sooner. It would have been awesome if the surgery had been successful and then Richard Gere had smothered Charlotte with a pillow in the recovery room. I wish when Richard Gere's character goes home after Charlotte croaked and he found the gift box with the hat, I wish he had stomped on it and said, "YOU PIG I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Then kicked the hat against the wall, laughed maniacally, pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head.Anyway, Winona Ryder is a sexy little monkey. They should have made Charlotte a shoplifter.Skip this one guys, and if your wife tries to make you watch it with her, file for divorce because if you watch it you will hate her for it and you'll hate yourself even more. I'll hate you both. I swear to all the filthy gods of my fathers I wouldn't watch this film agin for a billion dollars. If a fairy godmother came down from heaven and said, "If you watch 5 minutes of this film, I'll bring back your favorite dead relatives, all your dead pets, give you a billion dollars and cure hunger," I'd punch her in the mouth.I need a whore.

Well it's a movie about a woman dying in scorbutus (Ryder) and her guy (Gere) basically watching her die with these pathetic sad eyes, without buying any vitamin c or anything and it's not like he didn't have any drugstore around the corner. It's always better to make a tear-jerker movie about a sad couple who spend their days crying and hoping that maybe vitamin-c itself is coming to the door saying "here I am, eat me". We'll it ain't gonna happen folks. It's a story about a woman who did not eat enough vegetables. As you mama said, eat your vegetables. The result is that you live a miserable life in a luxury apartment in New York doing nothing but worrying about things that don't matter and wondering around spending your pointless life.

One of the worst pictures ever. By the end of the movie when she finally dies you wish she would have died in the first 5 min. of the movie. No chemistry between the two stars. Richard Gere always has the same stupid look on his face as he does in every film he is in. Winona should stick to her day job...shoplifting. These two are so dull on screen that all through the movie your just wishing Charlotte would go ahead and die and put us all out of our misery. The movie in itself is so predictable and has been done many times (ie: Love Story). Winona is just silly and Richard is just stupid. They are no Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan....

No major spoilers.I agree with most reviewers; the chemistry between the leads was not good, and that lowers the film from a higher review. They were not helped by the rather limping dialog during their scenes together.However, what I discovered after watching is that this film is NOT about a love affair between a young woman and an older man--this film is about how a man who has been selfish his whole life learns to change.As a Richard Gere vehicle, this film is excellent. His journey throughout the film is believable and well-acted. I commend his performance--there are many small moments throughout the film when I found myself struck by how wonderful he was, and how subtly he could portray an emotion or a change in his character. For Gere's performance alone, I recommend this film. And I should mention that I am not usually a Gere fan. For this film however, I am.In addition, the supporting cast for this film is stellar. Their lines are amazing, their portrayals brilliant, and I remember their names while I cannot right now think of the name of Ryder's character....If you'd like to enjoy this film, think of it not as a love story, but as the journey of man who, at 48, finds he still has much to learn. And finds people who will help to teach him.
