This film showcases great talent who deliver across the board excellent performances. Perhaps the lead actors are too pretty / handsome, but this film delivers the daydream romance we came to see, despite the ultimate tragic storyline that awaits the characters after the credits roll. Perhaps only a relatively short life lived to its fullest is not so tragic as each good day is magnified in importance and the little things that are often most important don't slip away unnoticed. That might be considered the underlining theme of this little gem, but regardless, if you are in the mood for a modern romance, this might be just the film for you. The film is subtle, portrays reasonably realistic scenarios (if you can buy into the two near physically perfect humans in the lead roles), and delivers the daydream-believer romance most have come to experience in this film. You won't be disappointed if that is what you came to see, as the film keeps things light enough to avoid over the top melodrama, but still sweet enough to satisfy what you came to watch. Underrated film.
