Take your tissues with you if you must go to see this film. It ends up squeezing out every emotion you ever had, so you would probably be better off if you didn't go.

This romantic drama is all about a love affair that happens in New York. Chef, Will Keane, played by Richard Gere, doesn't believe in forever. He just wants to sow his oats today and off he goes. Things change!

He meets an attractive young designer called Charlotte (Winona Ryder). She has been brought up by her bad tempered grandmother Dolly (Elaine Strich).

hE'S 44 and she's 22 but they don't see a problem. However, just about everybody else does. Dolly is very wary of this arrangement.

The pair of them carry on regardless but their happiness is spoilt when Charlotte is diagnosed with serious heart desease (that old chestnut!). She can have an operation but its not likely it will work and its risky so she decides not to have it.

There are some very sensual close-ups of the lovers and some beautiful, romantic scenery, including the falling leaves in New York's Central Park, but these lovers just seem convincing. It's hard to believe that this pair are in love as they just don't work well together.

The story drags on towards the end and really pushes every emotional buttonthe audience has at the end. There is lots 'wring out your hanky stuff' here and it goes over the top at times.

This is a very ordinary weepy type movie. The storyline isn't exactly original and Gere and Ryder are very badly cast as lovers. It's 105 minutes of tugging on the heartstrings.

I personally wouldn't recommend this film to anyone. There isn't anything bad enough in it for me to say it's awful, but its just not very special, if you know what I mean.

Wait until the DVD comes out if you are a Richard Gere fan and spend your money in the pub.

Unfortunately for me I am a Richard Gere fan so I will probably end up watching this but thanks for the info Jan! Nicola:)

Sounds like the sort of film that sends shivers down my spine when I think about the possibility of being forced to watch. Thank God I haven't been to see it, aaah! Timmy.

Advantages: On a rainy day, you'll be sitting in a dry place in the theater
Disadvantages: Even Gere and Ryder fans can't possibly recommend this dreadful, shmaltzy flick
