Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

revbighig OK, I'll admit it, I watched this piece of nonsense because of Marisa Tomei. Such a cutey. And also because of the the word "sci-fi" in the TV description -- "romantic comedy" alone, is a no-go for me. So I sat through the whole thing, as baffling, silly, and self-contradictory as it was. Someone suggested Ruby was a bimbo fluff-head for not listening to and understanding Sam's complex "science" and ever-changing explanations. How could she not accept his hokum? How could anyone in their right mind accept anything from this creepy, pitiful character whose stories kept changing? Vincent D'Onofrio's Sam Deed was very hard to like -- too big, loud, weepy, goofy, doubtful. (Samedi, by the way, pronounced much like Sam Deed, is French for Saturday, the day after the dreaded Friday, when neither Ruby nor Sam could simply stay put for the day.)

RobbyClarke ...and the movie is pretty good, too. Sam Deeds (Vincent D'Onofrio) is in love from afar and willing to travel a long way to meet the woman of his dreams--Ruby Weaver (Tomei). Sam is gentle and kind, funny and reliable--in other words, much better than the other jerks Ruby has found herself with over the years. However, he also has a strange tale to tell about the aforementioned journey. Is it true, or is he sick? And does it matter to Ruby? Ruby's friend, Gretchen (Nadia Dajani), her therapist, Maggie (Holland Taylor), and her mother (Tovah Feldshuh) help her figure it out, and each lends her own grace to the film. Tomei, an actress whom I love, leads us through hope, despair, fear, rage, and finally love for Sam. The moral of this engaging story is, of course, that a good man is hard to find--so don't cut bait too quickly. And I have one question: that feisty guy at the gallery reception: was he or wasn't he?!

lafierose i thought i'd add another great review among the many that are here on IMDb. first off the acting was very superb by Vincent D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei. after about twenty minutes of seeing them acting together just sucked me in completely on this quirky but, fun romantic comedy/science fiction (romcom/scifi) film. their acting styles complimented each other so well and the chemistry was just mixed well in the film worlds laboratory (whether it was due to well editing or the actor/actress themselves). second this movie just kept me on a roller-coaster of a ride once i thought i had it figured out i was completely thrown for a loop back into the wacky roller-coaster design like that of the space traveling story that Sam gives and Ruby is just in the front seat of it all, as are we, the audience. i chose this movie based on it being a recommendation through amazon and thought "what they hey! i'll get it." so i ordered it and have not been disappointed by my decision of getting it. this movie is a must have for any movie goers collection and to see with friends, family, or that special someone. trust me you won't regret it.

mcw1139 About 4 months ago I started using my local public library as a poor man's Netflix. I would think up a film that my wife (and maybe I) would like to see and look it up in their catalog and, if they had it, reserve it for delivery to my local branch. There wasn't much they didn't have. At first I got ideas for films from titles I could remember. Then I consulted IMDb and did searches by actor of director, etc. to get titles.About a month ago, after I ran out of my remembrances and IMDb's cross-references, I searched the public library's catalog by year and media type (DVDs). Browsing through the results, in one recent year, I came across a title that seemed familiar and I right clicked it to find out more. The lead male was Vincent D'Onofrio, an actor I had seen in bit parts in film and TV, but who also was featured in a episode of one of my favorite TV series of all time 'Homicide: Life on the Streets'. Yeah, I know. Stupid title. But I swear that show was one of the finest I'd ever seen on TV (bear in mind, I've never had cable). The best cinematography, best editing, best screenplays with the best dialog delivered in the best performances on TV I had ever seen. The episode I saw D'Onofrio in was an episode that was also featured in a two hour PBS documentary 'Anatomy of a 'Homicide: Life on the Street', which was also excellent. D'Onofrio did a marvelous job in that episode. So good, I thought I'd like to see him in another lead role. When I came across it in the library catalog search, I decided to order the film even though the library catalog blurb read "A single girl with an obsession for fixing the emotional problems of oddball men finally meets a guy who seems normal. The only snag is that he says he came from the future to save her life". Sounded kinda a smaltzy romantic comedy we recently viewed - Kate & Leopold. It even had Marisa Tomei in it.Unfortunately, it arrived with another movie I wanted to see more and so I just saw the first two minutes before I returned it to the library. But that first two minutes was so hypnotic and enticing that I added the D'Onofrio film to the another batch of library requests.Tonight I viewed it. I reran the first two minutes twice and it really wasn't as good as I kinda thought it was a month ago in it's first aborted viewing - it was better. About ten minutes in, I was beginning to think this might turn out to be my favorite film of the last year. About twenty minutes in, I was beginning to think this might turn out to be my favorite film in the last 5 years. About one hour in, I was beginning to think this might turn out to be my favorite film in the last 10 years. By the end of the film, I was beginning to think this might turn out to be my favorite film.This film has some of the best cinematography, best editing, best soundtrack, best sound editing (since The Conversation), best screen writing with the best dialog delivered in the best performances I had ever seen.
