Déjà Vu

I loved Deja Vu. It's about love and magic, and being honest with yourself. Vanessa Redgrave is beautiful, and the relationships in the film are fascinating. The film made me think about my life, and the choices I've made, or have not made. I made changes in my life after seeing the film that were very good for me. This film has it all---mystery, love, humor, beauty. I saw it several times, and never got bored. Go see it, or rent it!

This was one of the most romantic movies I've ever seen. The story is fascinating, beginning with the conversation at the cafe in Jerusalem with Dana and the mystery woman, through Dana's search in Paris, to the White Cliffs of Dover. To me, this movie is hope for women that there is one person out there who is truly meant for them and sometimes you are lucky enough to find that one person, as Dana was. The music was so fitting and made me weepy at times. I was really blown away at the ending, because I hadn't expected it, but it was so fitting. The final shot of the film says it all for me. Henry Jaglom and Victoria Foyt are truly the new wave of film makers and her beauty is extraordinary. As soon as the movie was over I wanted to watch it again.

I must say I enjoyed this movie and I was taken by it from the first moments. It is full of wonderful characters and interesting acting. It was not replete with name actors and formula plots.

The quiet moments when the characters waxed philosophical were the best parts of the movie. It was a script that I could put my spiritual teeth in.

At first it was distracting to see Redgrave sitting among her "lessers" but as her role continued...I realized why she took the role. It spoke volumes about the central premise of fate and free will and added much to the film's story line. Plus, she delivered a marvelous performance.

(It always fascinates me when someone states that THIS is the worst movie they have ever seen. To say that about THIS movie reveals that the reviewer has not seen many movies. I have seen some alarmingly bad movies where I am cringing throughout. That is bad folks. This is not Shakespeare nor Gone With The Wind...instead...it is charming.)

Deja-vu was wonderful...a romantic movie for woman and men :)

I must admit, I only saw the first 20 minutes, and the last 5 minutes. The plot was SO predictable. Ten minutes in, I asked my fellow viewer (who had seen it) does X happen and Y turn out to be Z? And I was right 100%.

It was, without mincing words, awful.

Specifically, the score was horrific and made me laugh at points. The acting of the main character, Dana, was one-dimensional -- she went around with this dull, "what the hell is going on" look on her face.

But the worst part was the vomit-inducing camera work. Scenes start with a medium two shot, and then zoom into one character, pan left, and then zoom out again to a two shot. It looked like the camera operator and director were having a great time playing with the zoom button on their dad's new camcorder.

If you want to see some sickly sweet love story, find something with Karen Valentine on Lifetime.

I too listened to the film critics and went to see this film. What a disappointment. The only positive thing I can say is that I liked Ms. Massey and Mr. Harrison in the supporting roles. I would much rather have seen a story about these two than the main characters.
