This movie is among Nicolas cages better movies, while it does feel like it was a movie made for Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, I enjoyed watching the movie it's not too boring and I was expecting a lot worse from him, worth a watch I suppose.

A fantastic movie. Do you want to feel the magic of emotions? Watch this movie opening your heart... Much more better than "Sliding doors", another planet. Trust me, enjoy this movie...

Very interesting movie. It presents the "what if"s of life in a great way and it also shows the strugle in dealing with dreams that didn't become reality.
