Glad to have another reader out there. Hopefully, I can help your husband keep in touch with what's happen in his hometown. And, do go see the movie. It's well worth it. @Tammy (I’m assuming the “q” is a typo): Thanks for passing the link along. Glad to have another reader out there.

I can't wait to talk my family into seeing it. The scenery in the preview alone makes it seem worthwhile to me. BTW, just stumbled across your blog and will share it with my husband, former Edmontonian, now living in St. Louis. He still reads the Sun online on a regular basis and will enjoy, I think, your posts. Thanks for your review of the movie. I can’t wait to talk my family into seeing it.

I honestly can't imagine another actor doing the role justice. As for breaking down the 4th wall, that's something that I generally hate in movies. It's rarely done well, and I feel that it usually destroys the illusion, rather than bringing the audience further into it.

I think there were many strong actors cast in this film and it made it very much worth watching. I would buy it and watch it again a few times. I would give it 4.7 out of 5.

Still, as I said, I really did enjoy the movie. I don’t think it’s one that I would buy on DVD and watch multiple times, but it was a good “one-timer.”

Cliche after cliche it seemed to me. I still want to see it because the story is appealing in a romantic kind of way. Thanks for this review.
