i liked this movie a lot and it's not just a chick flick! it was a nice change after seeing some movies lately that were excellent but maybe somewhat "unpleasant" (Last King of Scotland - yikes!) it's a sweeping romantic drama, maybe somewhat Merchant-Ivorish or Masterpiece Theaterish, but Naomi Watts and Edward Norton (as always) are wonderful and they have great chemistry. it's a great story with great acting and is beautiful to look at. the music is also spectacular. it won a Golden Globe for best score but amazingly this movie has no oscar nominations.
