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 central to the thinking of the lead male character Sam (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 to!!
It's really let down by an unimaginative soundtrack, but that's my only negative.
