The movie might be 20 years old, but you'd never know it. It's a sweet fantasy we probably all secretly harbor, considering how difficult it is to find "the one" with whom to spend our lives. For everyone poo-pooing how Sara and Jonathan end their relationships to search for their true loves, keep in mind they end the relationships BEFORE they marry. They recognize the people they're engaged to aren't a good fit. Sara's musician boyfriend is nearly completely absorbed by his musical career and touring, oblivious to the very real demands of Sara's career, even when she points them out. Jonathan's fiancee... well, fidelity isn't exactly her strong suit. I only gave the movie 4 stars, instead of 5, primarily because of how silly the character of "Lars" is. Jon Corbett is a wonderful actor and was just incredible in Northern Exposure." Too bad he plays such a silly, unbelievable character. Not the musician (he is one in real life). The goofy "eastern mystic" musician. (The instrument played in the movie is real... but normally only played at important ceremonies, like marriages.) Ironically enough, there really was serendipity and perhaps destiny in Jon Corbett's life. He was set up with a date... with Bo Derek. They've been together for just over twenty years... and married in 2020. Destiny? They met when this movie was being made. You decide. A lovely, sweet movie. Don't over think it, enjoy it.

As adorable as the online romance is between Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox, it's absolutely preposterous to think or believe that Kathleen would fall in love with the man who destroys the wonderful little bookstore she leaves to her daughter when she died. This wasn't just a place to work, it was a place where her mother invested her soul. And Kathleen falls in love with the man who destroys everything her mother loved, that she loves. Yes, they could fall in love online. But there's no way she'd happily fall in love with the "bottom dweller", as she refers to Joe online, after he destroys her store and livelihood. I love the movie, but I can't get past how ridiculous it is for her to fall for him at the end. I want her to yell at him, scream at him and never have anything to do with him again! Women should be outraged by the ending, not happy they end up together.

Worst disaster movie ever. There's some calamity of unknown origin and instantly everyone turns into a monster trying to kill people for what they can get from them.

I watched / dragged myself through it because I like Mark Ruffalo. Right from the beginning it was awful with Reese Witherspoon cheerfully portraying a doctor you'd think was single handedly treating every single patient in a major hospital in San Francisco...on no sleep! Kept waiting for it to somehow get better... and it never did. Don't waste your time on this terrible movie.
