Rating: Summary: Unoriginal Review: The only reason I watched this is because Kirsten is in it and I love her. It's a good movie with a nice story line. But it's very unoriginal. Like it's trying to be Titanic. The 3 main comparisons: 1:Grandma tells story of when she was young 2:Tragedy at sea 3:The scene when James drowns, at the end, is the same as when Jack drowns Kirsten disappoints her fans with being unoriginal.
Rating: Summary: The Score Review: The Score made the movie. Has anyone found a CD soundtrack for this movie(DEEPLY)? Devin did you find one?
Rating: Summary: good story Review: This is nothing like titanic. like the other reviewers, i found this in a bargain bin at walmart for $5. I liked the movie alot, but it was a bit slow at some parts. It was meaningful, and there were actually 2 stories going on. The end was great since it finally all made sense in the end. Tragic, and definatly not a comedy, but a very good movie.
Rating: Summary: Suck Review: THis movie sucks, hate it.. the only good thing about this movie is Kirsten Dunst's acting,she is so cute! i give 2 stars for the beautiful image! other than that this is a pathetic " story", a movie who gives ppls no HOPE ! But i have to say director Sophia Co is very talented!
Rating: Summary: Not a Winner Review: This movie was horrible. Kirsten Dunst is my favorite actor and I just had to see it. Well now I know why it did not make it to theatres. The movie had a stupid plot about the fish going away and the town blaming a girl. Take my word and definately don't see it!
Rating: Summary: Sincere story that never really reaches a true climax Review: What could have been a truly touching drama becomes tiresome at times. When a young girl is taken to a cursed, remote island by her mom, she comes to learn about the history of this place. She's told of Kirsten, who plays a special girl called Silly, who holds the secret of lifting a curse which plagues the island every 50 years. Only problem is, all the townsfolk seem to know this secret, except of course Miss Silly. Uhmm . . . I wonder how she got that silly name? You'd think by the time you're 16 years old, you'd have done just about everything to everyone to get some answers and come out of the dark. Nooo, not Miss Silly. She pouts and screams and stamps her foot, to no avail.Although I managed to shed some tears in the final sequences, the preceding scenes are so drawn out, that the viewer can't help but feel that the director is purposely trying to torture us into thinking that there is an extremely blinding light at the end of the tunnel. But at the end of the day, all we get is a light no brighter than all the rest. Three stars for solid acting, effective atmosphere and a moving score.

Rating: Summary: Great love story!!!! Review: WOW!! This movie had me with tears coming down my eyes! I highly recommend the move. I borrowed it from my aunt and WOW! If you want a great love story taking place in the early time of history its wonderful. For any hopless romantic. I say it has a bit of Titanic and Tuck EverLasting w/ Edward scissorhands! If you like those movies this is the one for you!
