Read More Burns is again showing his talent for capturing the angst and understanding of his generation (30 somethings!). Don't expect high drama here, or a tear jerking conclusion, as this is a subtle peeling of an onion taking place on screen. All of the characters are understandable for their personal anxieties and determination. Burns doesn't need a script for his part here as he's played this guy in several films; meaning and attitude tumble out naturally. Blair suprised me with her sophisticated exigencies and it's nice to see her mature into a part like this. Messing is, as always, on her game and I loved the scene when Burns is yelling at her to hurry up. She and Burns, surprisingly, just stumble into a new relationship that seems a lot like an old, comfortable marriage! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

But his movies are all about great relationships. If you don't like real love stories, you won't like this one. Great dialogue but could have had a better leading woman.

When we were young, we did a lot things which can let us feel regret in the rest of life. Fortunately, LIFE give you second chance to make up. Someone can catch the chance; but someone would not pay attention on this chance and miss it again; However, there is someone who can see the chance but can not seize it. Well, I think everyone has regret about their first, premature love. Hope next time, when you meet again, if you still owe her/him an apology or even a word, plz speak out; and if you still have feeling on her/him, plz dont be shy, speak out too, I WANNA BE TOGETHER!
