This is one of my favorite movies. The perfect date movie. Although it is a little sad, it shows true love & friendship.

I loved this movie! Great characters, great love story. Sad, but still a great movie!

Had the real consequences of the opening crash been shown it is doubtful that the movie would ever have been made! Sometimes comic book immortality spoils the real world effect. Other than that the movie has a good story. The story really had to end the way it does so that neither lover was rewarded.
