'Til There Was You

I thought this was a tightly-written, well-directed, superbly-acted film. It moved me to tears. Rang true & clear. Happy ending & all, it depicted the angst & turmoil of the shallow relationships this culture encourages.... the characters did the work & found their true mates as a result. Too slow for American hyper/commercial attention spans, for sure. More like a European film in that regard. Brave & moving. Glad I saw it.

Kind of funny for a romance movie. I shockingly actually liked the movie.

I've seen this movie about five times by now and I still find new things to like about it. Tripplehorn is great (especially at pratfalls) and the rest of the large cast is pretty good too. The movies takes swipes at modern architecture, smoking and relationships, and they are very funny for the most part.

the first time i saw Til there was you, i liked it for it's cuteness, but it kinda went by slowly...but then i had an urge to watch it again,and i was able to catch more about the connections between Nicholas and Gwen. i love how EVERY time i watch it, i discover some new path crossing i didn't catch before. i really do like this movie.

I own a copy of this movie and loaned it out to various movie-loving coworkers, telling them nothing about it in advance and asking them to only to 'rate it on a scale of 1-10'. Sadly, of a group of 10 different viewers, it rated an average of '3'; most thought it was awful. Only one of the 10 recognized the brilliance of this title. The irony, the ongoing parallel construction, the 'pay attention to the details' element. I'm pretty sure this story will go on to be a sort of "It's a Wonderful Life" type of film; an initial box office disappointment that is rediscovered many years later. The running gag about cigarette smoking alone sets it apart from all other movies. It's a breath of fresh air in the formulaic approach of movie making. Quirky and odd as it may be, its message of 'love will find a way' (in spite of our disruption) registered a connection in me; "in the end it always works out; don't give up".
