Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

What a pleasure to watch. Just the right mixture of suspense and romance. You have to hate the "bad guy" who is thoroughly despicable and root for the hero who initially appears to be a bit of a cad. Some reviewers say the ending was contrived but I found it hopeful and yes, charming. The ex fiancé was cold and I was happy to see Brian shed of her. If you like love, fantasy and hope seamlessly blended together, give this movie a go!!!

One of the reviewers here asked if Roses and Hyacinths can bloom at the same time. The answer is yes. Hyancinths of course bloom only in spring. Roses can bloom in mid-spring all the way into fall. Roses cannot endure weather that is too cold. But any decent Rose gardener can with impromptu mini green houses and warming of the beds start the growing and blooming process earlier. They can also extend the blooming period of Roses with the same techniques in the fall. Just don't plant Rose bushes too close to Plum trees.The movie starts with Brian Conner having his fiancé drop the engagement ring on his desk at his west coast business. Needing time to think he purchases an expansion business on the east coast that also makes web-sites. He wants to lease home living arrangements but instead is offered a run down cottage by a local Realtor. The price is right and he buys.The cottage has the capacity to have people at two different points of time being able to communicate with each other with limitations. The previous owners fifty years earlier can communicate with Brian. The previous owners are a husband and wife. David Lewis performs the role of despicable husband to perfection. Brian helps the wife as much as possible.I don't understand his previous fiancé showing up unannounced or at least close to that at his east coast home and business. It detracts from the movie rather than adds to it.How does it end? I leave that to you dear viewer to discover for yourself. I will say unlike another viewer here that the ending is much better than it would have been due to Brian Connor's efforts. At least he could do one thing at the end that he could previously not do.

If you suspend belief and just let yourself be entertained by it's simple,heart-warming message,you will be transported back to a more innocent time and place..in your heart and mind. Another reviewer asked if it was possible for hyacinths and roses to be flowering at the same time. In the north,yes.Both bloom in the spring,hyacinths in early spring and roses in mid-spring.. with that said nothing should detract from simply enjoying this as a simple romantic pleasure with a twist..Don't worry about endings or plausibility.Simply let yourself enjoy the period dialogue,mannerisms,cars,and great performances by the two lead characters. Anyone who became a romantic fan of Somewhere in Time or The Love Letter will find enjoyment in the adaption of impossible love..somewhere in the garden.Highly encourage you to see this.

Breaking up with his fiancé and moving from San Francisco to Maine. Our hero buys a cottage. He didn't want to buy it, but something told him it was the right thing to do. Already, I'm wondering if this is for me.Our guy hears people talking in the house. You immediately wonder if there are ghosts. Then we are subjected to a couple living in the house and the year is 1960. Eventually, we find out that our lady, who has Lyme disease, meets an awful end at the hands of her abusive husband. She is communicating with our guy via fireplace in the living room.If this is more incredible, our guy's ex-fiancée suddenly shows up and reverses everything by throwing a love locket in the fire. Then, we're back in 2011 and another walk through the garden.Credibility is lacking here. This isn't even for the romantics. There is some good acting, especially the abusive husband.
