I love Meg Ryan, and I love DVDs, hence I bought this movie! It's not particularly famous, and not due any awards, but it is wonderfully inoffensive and sweet. The DVD itself if great as it has more than the boring so-called 'special feature' of scene access and subtitles but also other trailers - more romantic comedies - and something on the camera obscura, which has a major role in the film... "It's not a camera!" This piece of apparatus is very ...
...(played by Matthew Broderick) who convinces himself he's not spying on his ex-girlfriend because he's not using a camera. This is a film you have to have if you're a Meg Ryan fan, she's great as always, or if you simply want something that only needs minimal attention on a Friday night after a hard week at work. There are deeper issues about what could be considered stalking, they are not really explored, but it could make you think if you want ... Read review

Advantages: If you love Meg Ryan she is Hilarious in this one!
Disadvantages: had a hard tiem not seeing Matthew Broderik as Ferris Bueller's age

I loved this movie. Meg Ryan was awesome in it. Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick make a great team. If you ever need revenge or help getting back an exlover this is your team! The sets where great and the story line was one of the best I have seen in quite some time. If your looking for a good love story with plenty of laughs--this is the one. The two of them teamed up makes for a great revenge scheme, some of the things they will do is hilarious. ... Read review

Advantages: Has a lot of her older hits, excellent performance, good quality sound
Disadvantages: Only if you don't like Tina Turner

...The Grapevine Addicted To Love Simply The Best Proud Mary Nutbush City Limits Twenty Four Seven The DVD also includes special features such as a backstage interview and behind the scenes footage. This in itself is really interesting. It talks about how long the stage (which is very impressive) took to build and about the dancers, etc. I can say that Tina Turner puts on the best concert show ever – and yes, she has brilliant legs with ‘those stilettos’ and everything else for a 60 year old. The young and old alike attended this concert. I believe this DVD would appeal to many age groups and is a must for anyone that has ever seen her in concert. I have been to see many people in concert such as Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating, Bryan Adams, Texas – but Tina Turner beats them hands down. She was... Read review

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Deeply depressing

...it. Hoffman's performance was so realistic that I found it really hard to switch off from the film afterwards. To some extent, the ending wasn't quite as satisfactory as it could have been. At the same time, I think it was an excellent portrayal of real life, warts and all, and I can only applaud Gordy Hoffman and Todd Louiso for having the guts to tackle a subject as raw as this that was never going to be a success commercially. I'm going to knock a star off for the fact that this film is so damn depressing, but I do still recommend this film to anyone that can cope with watching a film as bluntly realistic as this. If you've recently been depressed, have lost someone close to you or have a loved one struggling with an addiction, this film is probably not for you. I watched the film only, but the DVD is available from play... Read review
