Ok, what makes this movie so special?
I've always heard it was great, but now that I've seen it, I'd like to
question why. Sure, there's some romance, and there were some cute
scenes, but not much romantic cuteness, if you know what I mean.
Performances were decent, though if anything, it's the familiar
situations with which audiences would relate. The plot too was suspect
in that it never flowed. There were some cleverly poignant moments,
but they just popped in and out awkwardly. In the end, the most
surprising thing of it all was that it never succeeded in putting me
to sleep.
Quite a few extras here, most of which aren't that interesting. The
seven minute featurette was nothing more than talk about the plot.
There were also twenty-eight extra scenes comprised of deleted,
extended and alternate ones. With the exception of a few deleted ones,
they were very, very dull. And to top it off, I never figured out how
to access the listed commentary for the alternate scenes. Other extras
found on the DVD were two theatrical trailers, eight TV spots and just
seven production photos. The commentary by director Cameron Crowe and
stars John Cusack and Ione Sky was the only appealing bonus with
plenty of anecdotes.
Perhaps I just had too high an expectation for this film. After all,
it always seemed regarded as a classic. While I didn't hate it, I just
didn't find anything that special.
