Excellent Movie
29 April 2008
I just saw the movie at the Newport Beach Film Festival and was surprisingly pleased. I had no idea that a romance based in a mortuary could be so enjoyable. In a day of remakes and dull story lines, it was a pleasure to see a fresh and intriguing plot line. Strong performances by Max Minghella, Blake Lively and especially Joe Mantegna kept the audience captivated until the end. Mantegna's performance as a physically and mentally challenged father is magnificent. The cinematography is outstanding and immerses you in each scene. The soundtrack is as obscure as the story line but is also a breath of fresh air when compared to the usual Top 40 used in most movies. This is a must see movie. You won't be disappointed.
