Ratings and reviews

I was visitin' some friends I used to work with... they had rented this movie & I was watching it from an adjacent room... And, just before it ended the room had lesser family members viewing it & that was my que to politely get up & say my goodbyes & mutually depart.!? I did watch most of movie & didn't care for it... But, I did appreciate the Era back then & the movies effort to recreate this time of period back then... Honest & Truly, Tim B.

Lifeless story with lifeless soundtrack. The same filler jazz music drolled on scene after scene without stopping to take a breath...All the actors just played themselves.

Basically a movie that could be real life...only To END like real life. Started off great only to it kick you in the butt at the end, cuz you thought something was going to happen....which ends up...NOOOOOT. Cuz in Real Life...YOU DONT GET THE GIRL. WHO WANTS TO WATCH A MOVIE WHERE YOU DONT GET TO BE WITH THE WOMAN OF YOUR DREAMS. IF I WANT TO SEE THAT...ALL I HAVE TO DO IS LOOK IN THE MIRROR. I still love you Alissa H., I ALWASY WILL.
