So what's so wrong with this movie?
I read all the other reviews for this movie, and I was amazed at the negative comments the guys made about it. Well, I'm a guy and I loved this movie. Okay, so Keanu Reeves doesn't get the award for best dramatic actor of the century, but he's a lot better than, say, Jim Carey. I didn't perceive him as "woody" or "stoic," but rather I saw him portraying a polite and shy young man who helps out a young woman in distress at his own personal inconvenience. That's a trait you don't see very often these days. It's a pleasant and refreshing change to see a young soldier who is actually moral and decent and willing to help, even at personal loss to himself. Yes, it's a huge chick flick. So what? A lot of chick flicks are great movies, and this is one of them. Buy it and watch it with someone you love. You'll have a great time. The photography is spectacular. The music is great. The story is predictable, but then, so are the plots of most of the action movies. It's a rare movie that is completely unpredictable. This is one you won't forget. Thanks to those who produced it for giving us a good example of the way real men act around women, particularly women in need. This is one movie you can watch with anyone... your spouse, your kids, your date. It's a good, clean, moral tale of shivalry that warms your heart and restores your faith in humanity. It's a totally enjoyable experience.

Romance is alive!
Reading all these reviews I'm so glad to see that there are lots of people who still know what real romance is. And this movie is PURE (in any sense) romance! I often watch it with family and friends. And so far everyone loved it. So what if Keanu isn't Academy Award-material in this flick! He portrayed his character the best he could and therefore should be respected for his effort. [Personally I find him charming in his role. Whether his insecure "behavior" is superbly acted (not everyone has to be a self-secure macho-man) or him, as an actor, being insecure, doesn't matter!] Anyway, she/he who bought it because of Keanu starring in it will love it all the way. All others might look at it as a fairy-tale with gorgeous scenery shots and a happy ending. It's a movie that makes you feel good and entertains you. And that's what movies are supposed to do, entertain and for a couple of hours make you forget the world outside the auditoruim.

This movie gives me goosebumps every time!
Now, admittedly, I don't think Keanu Reeves is that great of an actor. He's cute, he seems sweet, and is definitely watchable in most things. But in this movie, he shines. I don't know what it is about this movie, but it brings out the sensual side of Keanu. His normally stiff acting softens up and he seems to really revel in this role.

The scene where he and Aitana Sanchez-Gijon embrace after the stomping the grapes...oh, that scene grabs my heart every time!

The scenery in this film is gorgeous and makes you want to romp through a California vineyard!

I highly recommend this film for anyone looking for a great romance.
