La leganto, kiun ĝi celas, estas la postbaza lernanto, ne kompetenta leganto de Esperanto.

I generally like upbeat chick flics that have a happy ending, and this is one such. A few views of rural English village and country life only add to the pleasure of this film.

From my point of view there are mostly so-so romance films and pretty bad ones. I’ve largely been avoiding them in recent months. This one, however, strikes me as the best since Notting Hill.

I don’t know that I’d care to recommend this one, but some people thought it was at least decent …

Basically, it’s a story telling about how Jenna’s youthful behavior changed her life in ways of which she is not proud — and how she gets a chance to unmake those changes.

Ultimately, the story is about love ― what is it? Hormones? A set of memories that can be zapped? Or something deeper and harder to get rid of?

One wonders just how many people suffer from this disability outside of the movies.

If I had to define this movie with a single word, “contrived” would come immediately to mind.

All in all, a pleasant movie, but I don’t think that the attempt to juggle all of these stories worked out as well as it might have.

Going in to a sneak preview of this film, I kept thinking of Mel Gibson and the somewhat risqué What Women Want. Coming out, I kept thinking of the puerile The Princess Diaries.

Amusing but very, very minor.

I’m not sure that the wide screen experience here brings anything to the viewer that the idiot box experience won’t provide …

I won’t recommend the movie for the plot, but you might want to see it on the big screen for the waves.

See it on rented tape or DVD. Or don’t, as the spirit moves you.

If you haven’t yet seen it and if you like Jane Austen — try to catch it. If you have to pay to do so … it’s worth the money.

I enjoyed it. But I don’t know whether it’s for everybody.

It’s another example of “details ain’t right but it’s got the ambience”, complete with covens, magic shoppes and solstice celebrations.
