The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

As a person who is fond of Anne Hathaway , i thought that i would like this movie whatever it was talking about.But once i watched the first 20-30 minutes, i recognized that it was talking about something different, about something deeper which is going on in our whole life.the movie is talking about falling in love .. but not just that, it's shows what happens to you after you fall in love .. instead of expressing your love and let it out, and show the one you loved how much you appreciate him/her.You start to get confused, ask yourself question that has nothing to do except complicating your life.and the real question which appears from the first hour is why, why we get confused in love, why we can't deal with our relations as easy as we deal with any thing in our life, why when it get to love it becomes so that difficult.the last thing we can say that this movie tried to say ... you have to be responsible for your choices but remember you have only one love to live.

This is a romantic drama film in which Dexter (played by Jim Sturgess) and Emma (played by Anne Hathaway) are shown on 15 July on each year. The problem with only showing the characters on one day per year is that it's incomplete and the change in the characters isn't sufficiently explained. This film is like an inferior remake of When Harry Met Sally - minus the humour and with an unhappy ending.The two aren't suited as a couple or as friends - and the attraction between them isn't believable. Neither of the main two characters are likable, so we can't root for them - or care when she is killed.Anne Hathaway's character, and her many changes in appearance and voice, aren't believable. Her accent is all over the place. In some scenes, her accent changes mid-sentence!

Great story which I think epitomizes the term 'Soul mate'. While the leading male character pursues his life searching for his destiny, he fails to realise it has been right in front of his eyes since his graduation in the late 1980's.Both performances from the lead characters was a sheer pleasure to watch and holds the attention all the way through. I didn't know Anne Hathaway was actually an American actress until researching the film afterwards, which makes her performance that much more incredible. Jim Sturgess and I graduated from the same university on the same course of study.One of my favourite movies.

It's a love story that slowly tells itself and shows the personal development of the characters. The scenes were well chosen, but the characters were shallow. They had this British typical inability to deal with emotional stuff though; however, it only meant over two hours of agony. The characters evolved normally. No ridiculous stuff. Still not recommended. No real plot twists that were surprising. The beautiful scenery and authentic decors are not enough to make a movie worth watching for more than 2 hours. The end was no surprise to me at least. The movie got me bored at middle the night, at a hospital, with nothing else to do. Watching commercials could have been more fresh.
