When I first watched this film, then I was 18 and I had started dating my NOW hubby, Stewart. The cinema was empty, there was just me and him, we obviously hogged the backseats, but I remember feeling quite concerned at the lack of people wanting to watch the film and was contemplating the waste of money for our tickets. Stew has never has and never will be a lovey-chicky film, but he went along for me. As the film started I was wondering how the story was going to pan out, but within 10 minutes I guessed that there would be trouble and love loss before finally getting to them being all happy and loved up at the end. It was the journey to that stage that I didn't know about, what was going to happen to these characters? Was Al going to get the girl? Was Imogen slightly stuck up? Overral I enjoyed the film and the romance was enough to keep me glued, but I wasn't really too bothered about the characters. There was no real interest there. Sure, I wanted them to get together and finally live forever together, but I wasn't completely bothered if they didn't. I felt the concept for this story was good, but i wouldn't necessarily say that the film was filmed brilliantly. It kept me entertained like any other romantic film, but it didn't give me feel-good-vibes which we all expect from a film of this genre.
Since then I have purchased the film on DVD. It is nearly 7 years on, but I still kind of feel the same as when I first watched it. The story is good and imaginative, but its not necessarily a good story for the big screen.
