although normally my preference is not for romantic dramas and seeing this film left me a little short. it had promise and the characters and relationships could have been explored much deeper than they did and yet the story seemed not to understand the direction it wanted to take. the comparisions and parallels within the story and especially the three generations of women in the family and had a lot of potential and but somehow do not fully extend itself. it could have made the film much easier to relate to and attach to which is the aim of any film about lost love and life regained. imho and i think the film suffered from a lack of direction in the writing and although harry connick jnr and sandra bullock did try desperatly to breath a little life into otherwise flat character outlines. it not that this is a bad film and some parts leave you understanding the reasons for various plot developments and its just that this film is underdone and and a little flat overall.
