Without apology or regret, I've loved this film since its release. A seemingly silly film that offers some lessons on the deeper meanings of life. Wildly imaginative it offers a not so subtle affirmation of living life to It's fullest rather than living it vicariously indirectly or through others. Meg Ryan's Patricia is luminous and, as with their other two films, she and Tom Hanks share a marvelous chemistry. The music is very sentimental but the endung song perfectly describes one's feelings when one truly met their soulmate, an event that occurs far less often than most realize, but wheb it happens it's quite magical and can seem almost miraculous, rather like this film's ending. The film certainly doesn't merit its low reputation.
