Summary: Wonderfully Romantic
Review: Still Breathing is a quirky wonderful romantic movie. Brendan Fraser and Joanna Going make a wonderful couple destined to be together. I love the way that Fletcher (Fraser) goes after the woman that he invisions even though Roz (Going) isn't sure about him and is only after one thing at first...his money. If you are a Brendan Fraser fan this is a must see. If you aren't then you will be after this fabulous flick.

Summary: A guide to inner peace--
Review: Still Breathing. The story reaffirms the grace and beauty of true love, the cinematography is gorgeous,the music is simply sublime, the perfomances are dead-on perfect--this film is amazing. I had a hard time getting it, and even signed petitions for it's release on DVD. But it was worth the wait. As near perfect a director's first film as I have ever seen. The performances were nearly flawless as well, Brendan Fraser giving a subtle, layered performance that it would be easy to underestimate, as it looks so effortless. I had never seen Joanna Going before, but after this film, I seek out her other work. Toby Huss is marvelous in a supporting role, and so is Lou Rawls. Lastly, the incandescent Celeste Holm, to whom we are treated so rarely, glows as the grandmother. This film is not for the shallow, the cynical, or the tragically hip, but for anyone who wants to believe in people, in love, and in good, old-fashioned movies, this is a must see. A tip to those who watch the DVD--wait through the end of the credits for a hidden gem from Fraser & Huss.

Summary: Hmmmm... Soothing
Review: The first 1/3 of the movie seemed unbearably slow to me. I almost quit. However, the momentum picked up afterwards. And then I was glad that I held on to it. Over all this movie is poetic and healing. Beautiful ending. It is worthy to be patient when you watch this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Reality vs Fantasy
Review: This is a warm, sweet film. Like many others, I saw it, quite by accident, on cable. I've since bought the DVD and am not disappointed. This small, independent film by James F.Robinson is brilliant in concept and delivery. Right off the bat, there are repeated references to Verdi's "La Traviata", the ultimate romantic tragic opera. Things only get better, smarter and more clever. Brendon Fraser is always charming, with his child-like wish for perfection; the rest of the cast handles their roles with aplomb; Ann Magnusen is hard as nails, Tobe Huss as Cameron is the perfect innocent friend, and the great Celeste Holm is there as the granny, delivering the best line in the film: "(He's) redefining an imperfect world in a perfect way". She's crazy as a fox, and totally endearing. The mind-blowing element here is the performance of Joanna Going as Roz, the object of the whole thing. She is perfection...centered and precise in every glance, nuance and delivery. I was very impressed. She deserves a better career, since I haven't really heard of her since. A real talent. The choices of music are also excellent, in addition to the original music of Paul Mills. A rendering of "The Wee Small Hours of the Morning" (performed by Madeleine Peyroux) is most effecive, as well as the final title song, sung by Rita Springer. This is a loving display of (almost) craziness, lovingly presented by a fine director and a stellar cast. Cynics among you may not agree, but there are still a few of us out here that think true love is possible. Also, stay tuned...after the credits are over, there's a dilightful little "stinger". What a fine film!

Summary: Romantic movie
Review: This is one of my favorite Brendan Fraser movies. It's about finding your true love and not being afraid to take the chance to fall in love. Brendan's acting is so natural, you forget that's not who he really is. Joanna Going does an excellent job of the cynical woman of Brendan's vision, who is at first afraid to love and be loved. This is not an action adventure movie or comedy like some of his others. The scenes are more sensual. If you like to see the softer side of Brendan Fraser, get this movie!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Soooo Close!
Review: This movie has a five star story, a four star actor who does a three star job, and a three star dialogue. I think a little better job directing and a few more good lines would truely make this a five star movie all around. The visual effects were also well thought out, but there were things missed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mystically romantic
Review: This movie is a find. If you like movies that are a bit quirky, mystical and romantic this is a movie for you. Brendan Fraser plays a street performer who is looking for the girl he saw in a vision. Joanna Going is a con artist who mistakes him for a rich businessman. Her character fights with the knowledge that she deserves happiness with this one man. You might be tempted to think this movie is a silly piece of fluff, but the acting brings a real depth to the story. I recommend this movie to anyone who believes that there is someone in this world just for them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Brendan's best!!!
Review: This movie is fabulous! Brendan Fraser gives ones of his most superb performances in this off-balance romance about the power of love. If you are looking for _Encino Man_ or _Blast from the Past_, you'll find this film too subtle. Fraser's character is almost saintly in his belief of everything right and good while his L.A. love interest provides an interesting counterpoint with her deviousness and jaded outlook. This may just be my favorite Brendan Fraser movie!
