I found this to be a beautiful story about relationships. I thought there was wonderful acting, photography and directing and a moving love story. It was great to see the relationships develop and deepen. There seemed to be a thread of being true to oneself through it all.
I didn't read the book. Only saw the movie the day before yesterday. And I liked it!!! It's just a thing were I can think of the whole day. Fall in love wanted to marry then find some one better. Sounds a little bit stupid but I'm a dreamer. I love movies like this and I hope others too. Actually I like Paudge Behan he's so cute. And he plays very good. And you Jay I don't get it. Why are you watching a movie you just don't like?? Only to give bad comments. Or cause you really aren't interested in this movie. Well maybe I get my answer a day. But people it's a very good movie and what Jay finds I don't care. I hope you are going to watch it too!! Bye bye kisses Deborah
Ok, so this movie is kind of hokey. But I still loved it. Janine Turner is beautiful, the Irish guy was a real dish and most charming. It's not deep, it didn't make me think. But for me, it was entertaining and fun. I've watched it several times.
I liked "Northern Exposure," but wasn't as enthralled with it as many of my acquaintances. I found a lot of its characters tiresome, the exceptions being Barry Corbin, and especially Janine Turner.
I had not seen her that I recall since the series went off-air, until happening upon this flick.
This may not be "War and Peace," "Dr. Zhivago," or "Casablanca," but I found it enjoyable, especially due to Ms. Turner, and also Brendan Behan's son, a credible, engaging actor, whom I'd never seen prior.
Regarding some of the other comments I've seen here, the Venice scenes were outstanding, although it did seem the "Balkans" part was filmed a bit "on the cheap."
However, a worthwhile, entertaining presentation.

I am so glad I taped this movie. I have watched it over and over again! Janine Turner was excellent as well as her co-star Paudge Behan, whom I have never seen before and would like more information regarding his biography. Janine gets more beautiful with age and I was so impressed with Paudge Behan. This was a wonderful love story. I love happy endings!After seeing this movie I checked out the book and read it and was surprised at how different the book was compared to the movie. However, I tend to like the movie version better than the book. Would love to see more of Janine & Paudge in the future. The scenery was lovely in Venice and Dublin as well!
