| I wouldn't want to watch this movie, if I were in the mood to watch, say, Anna Karenina. However, taken on it's own merits, this movie is wonderful. It's funny, light-hearted, and is good because the characters are good. The main character, Adam, is afraid to commit to marriage, not because he's selfish, but because he was deeply hurt in the past. His girlfriend, Holly, is ready to settle down, yet genuinely loves Adam and is willing to wait. Another character, Jimmy, comes to realize before his wedding that his fiance', Dee, is a control freak, yet he loves her anyway. Adam does everything he can to prevent Jimmy from hurting Dee in the same way he was hurt in the past. Holly and Adam are subjected to a lot of irritating people and situations in their trip to Indiana, yet they never become rude--they bear everything with grace and kindness. This movie has a sweetness that is hardly ever found in movies now days. It was a joy to watch. |
