Sadly Over-hyped

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Blistering performances.

i turned on my TV this morning and tom hanks was on HBO. i was not familiar with the title so i searched the net. the movie was so touching and i actually experienced (though not the exact same way)a long-distance love affair which was implicated on the last part of the movie. maybe a remake of this should be made. i was disappointed to know that hanks had a movie that was not popularized as much as the others. this movie deserves some credit! i love the plot. my husband works outside the country. and i can very well relate to Sarah's role. love really is powerful. it can overcome race, distance, and time. and i like the concept reality in it. especially about the Latino language not being ruled out. instead a subtitle was used. over-all, a very good movie! one of those movies that you can watch over and over again!

I want to watch it again, I thought Tom Hanks really played the scenes very well and when they were in his room the first time I felt my heart skipping beats along with his breathing. The family of the girl played it all out true to life right down to the clothing taken away. The girl Sara was a bit hard to read sometimes with her facial expressions and body language was a bit stiff and acted, but over all she made it ass believable as she most likely could. I liked it a lot and am looking forward to watching it again soon. Tom Hanks Ruled!! Looking forward to seeing Christina(Sara) in the movie OPERA. Looks like a good Thriller and she is the lead actress too I think. SHe Reminds me a lot of Isabella Rosalinie.

I just finished watching this movie from start to finish, and wondered weather i could by it on DVD, thats how much i liked it...but unfortunately its not available on DVD. while i was watching it - i kept laughing at some parts of the movie cause the portrayal of the Jewish family reminded me of how true some middle eastern families are...i enjoyed this movie - it had many good points but it wasn't anything wow or spectacular - cause it was rather weak in some areas thats why its understandable why its not that well known or everyones favourite love movie...there isn't much to the plot - thats why i don't feel i can talk about it without feeling I'm giving to much away...and the direction isn't strong and it leaves something to be desired and not to mention the acting at some points feel rather fake or maybe fake is too a strong a word to use and the right word to use would be weak. I'm sad to say that because there was so much potential to this film to have become something really really special - but its let down in so many areas that its not just one thing that can make it better...but saying all that it still has some parts that are really wonderful and moments that just might melt your heart if even they are only but for a few seconds - they are wonderful moments...i think if it didn't feel so dated maybe it would have felt more real and there for more believable...i really enjoyed it and for those of you that like Tom Hanks maybe you should try and get a hold of a copy to view... but over all its a great film - really worth watching - mind you - its not for everyone - but then again what film is?

I had not heard of this film before, but just happened to watch it on TV in the afternoon, at the suggestion of my girlfriend. She did not know it either, but it starred Tom Hanks, and she likes him as an actor, so we watched it. We were not disappointed. The film was made in Israel, and I loved seeing some shots of Jerusalem (which I have visited twice), and the acting was great. The storyline was good and very interesting, even unusual. The two leads, Tom Hanks (when he was quite young) and Cristina Marsillach (who I never heard of before) both were believable in their roles and made us believe that their characters were well suited. If this ever comes out on DVD, go rent it or buy it. If it is on TV, record it. This is a film I liked very much.
