Pure movie magic that has never been eclipsed before or since. The feelings one can derive from this film have no benchmark for comparison. Additionally, each and every scene is essentially flawless with regard to the movie's purity and "vibe".
Please note, when George says, "Well, how old are ya?" his lips are not moving!
You won't believe the neat experience I had with bringing the woman who played Zuzu to introduce the film at a Christmas screening in historic Greenbelt, MD a few years back. If you're a fan, do yourself a favor and read about it at http://zuzu.net/essays/wonderful_theatre.html.

Top 10 Reasons this movie stinks 10) Keanu Reeves has doesn't work as a romantic lead 9) ZERO chemistry between Bullock and Reeves 8) The script would have received a D- in a screen writing 101 course. Characters say exactly what they think. No creativity/cleverness. 7) The direction is so over the top it distracts the story (every shot a "money shot"? pulease.) 6) No one ever questions the premise. He/she is in the future/past? right. okay. How about upping your meds, pal? 5) The guy who plays Reeves' brother is God-awful. Brotherly dialogue is also atrocious (see #8) 4) The script stinks to high heaven. 3) The lighting and colors are so overly-dramatic in just about every shot, distracting from the story - if there is one - even more. 2) The premise is full of holes that aren't even worth getting into. 1) Did I mention the bad script??? Oh, and I love IMDb's "If you like this movie, you'll like 'The Legend of Bagger Vance'" (re: For those that like everything even really, REALLY bad movies, perhaps you'll like this stinker too.) Okay, I'll stop rolling my eyes now...I just can't believe everybody else liked it. Maybe it was different in the theaters???
Okay, if you saw the trailer you may have thought, "Ha, ha. Another silly contrivance under the auspices of 'high concept'". Well, that may be true (it is high concept), but the actual movie is the most delightful surprise to all you romantic-comedy connoisseurs out there; it's HILARIOUS, the situations are fresh and unexpected and the writing is fantastic (for a high concept comedy; let's be honest about what we're dealing with here).
I saw this film tonight at a preview in Washington, DC and the audience laughed throughout. All I can say is that this film is going to make A LOT OF MONEY (probably $175M or so domestically is my prediction, it should do even better when word of mouth gets out) and it deserves to. Hats off to the writer and director whose names I'm about to look up here...go see it!
