The first time I saw this movie, was one night at my best friends house. We were expecting a sizzling romance with a lot of love scenes. Instead we got a straight forward movie about life, love and hard choices. We both fell in love with the characters. It’s so real because as soon as Birdee comes back, she doesn’t immediately fall for Justin, she’s still hurt, and she still has feelings for Bill.
Gradually she lets him inside her world of hurt feelings and broken hearts and realizes she does love him, but she wants things to work out with Bill, so she leaves him in the dust. After the funeral, she realizes that Justin’s not going to give up on her, no matter what. It’s so realistic, her pain is so real. The feelings between her and Bernice are so real because not every mother and daughter are as close as they could be. Tissues are a must, I’ve seen this movie so I know that the lineswill surely make you cry.
For those that have never been through this sort of pain, this movie can be incredibly long and boring, just wait until a bad breakup to watch it. You’ll change your mind.
