This is a movie to watch on a rainy afternoon. A light, enjoyable movie, but not just any romantic comedy. Of course, because it's directed by Sir Ridley Scott who can transform a romantic comedy into an intelligent film. His muse, Russell Crowe keeps showing why we love him and takes the lead role perfectly. But he's not the one who steals the show, actually, the ones who do are a not very known french actress called Marion Cotillard (she wasn't famous when the movie came out, but now she is, of course, for her awarded performance as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose) and a 13 year old marvelous boy called Freddie Highmore (Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Finding Neverland) who has already stared in several films among the most prestigious actors and directors. The story is well told, the photography is amazing, and the way you pass from present to past in Max's memories and at first you don't even notice is brilliant! It has its flaws of course, but they don't impede you to enjoy it.
