  1. Near-unwatchable romantic melodrama.

    It is all style and no substance.
  3. 20
    The inevitable isn't worth the wait.
  4. 63
    So laden with forced plot twists that it will never be able to recover.

    Spending an autumn in New York is the simple part, but the rest of the year gets more complicated. Let's see a movie about that.

    There's a lost opportunity here.
  7. 20
    When it comes to real people living and loving in the real world, the studios don't have a clue.
  8. 34
    To say that it's dull barely scratches the surface.

    Manages to jerk more than a few tears at all the right moments.
  10. 50
    Ultra-glossy weepie turns out to be something of a guilty pleasure.
  11. Not only do they (Gere and Ryder) lack chemistry, they lack physics, zoology, botany and geology.
  12. 10
    Who cares about old guys and young girls? This handsome romantic slop finds other problems.
  13. Fails to be the histrionic bubble bath that you want to carry you away.
  14. Works best of all as a vehicle for Richard Gere, who has simply never looked better or held the screen more securely.
  15. Flagrantly old-fashioned, triple-hankie tear-jerker.
  16. 40
    Weepy, overwrought love story.

    Gere has never seemed more squirrelly.

    Not a bad picture, just utterly banal.
  19. 10
    Not that much deep thinking went on here.

  1. I only wish I could give this movie less than 1. I also wish I could get the last couple of hours of my life back doing something more productive like maybe getting boiling oil poured over me. Full Review »
