Summary: My very best,
Review: This is the best romantic movie EVER done, I think that Steven Spielberg Directed his best movie, the actors were so pefect, Holly Hunt were marveleous, Richard Dryfoss acted the best in his whole life, the Directing of the movie were spectaclure, it is uncomparable with any other romantic movie, I' ve watched it more than 6 times in theater, 20 times in video and still cries with my wife every time. I am wondering how they said it is a weak point in spielbergs career. I couldn't find words that can describe how perfect this movie is....for me it's no.1 for the whole time.

Summary: An imaginary tale of love and loss.

Summary: NOT your average "girl clothes"
Review: An all-time favorite true love, soul mates story. My husband and I love this film. Dorinda is a great character that I adore, (I don't do "girl clothes" often either!) John Goodman's performance as the sidekick-best buddy-big brother-confidant and all around caretaker/good guy is one of his best efforts! Richard Dreyfuss does humility quite well. So, see it, you'll love it too.

Summary: Emotional Overload!
Review: I have to give this movie 2 thumbs up! I was fighting tears while watching this. But when the guy that I'm dating ended up sobbing harder that I did, I knew that it was an INCREDIBLE movie.

Summary: It's Always-a classic
Review: Romantic, slightly suspenseful, and certainly whimsical, the film focuses on the after-life and the chance at good-bye a hot-shot pilot (Dreyfuss) is given after he dies saving the life of his close friend (Goodman). He comes to understand that he should have done a lot of things in life, but the only way to make up for them in death is to see that his loved ones, namely Dorinda (Holly Hunter), are able to move on and achieve a full life again. Definitely romantic for any romance fan, but human enough to provide some thoughtful entertainment. Awesome.

Summary: A plethora of emotion
Review: I havent seen the original movie that this movie is derived from, but this movie is a sleeper, it has everything a person could want in a movie without force feeding it to you. Dreyfuss and Hunter are great together, a real chemistry there.

Summary: Dissapointing
Review: Spielberg's remake of "A Guy Named Joe" was truly dissapointing because of one unexpressive actor: Brad Johnson. But Mr. Dreyfuss, Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Goodman really save the day. Don't forget to watch over and over again the opening sequence, as well the fire scenes.

Summary: Always is fun, sad, and subtle like a wild fire
Review: I've read a review or two that refer to "Always" as a movie that's something it's not, and I agree. It's undeniable, with minor flaws Steven Spielberg's masterful reworking of "A Guy Named Joe" pretends to be a funny simple adventure story. At first glance it depicts a bigger than life attitude that vividly paints the scope, danger, thrill, and camaraderie of high risk fire fighting in the Pacific Northwest. It invokes ideals embodied in unity of purpose, while providing two very likeable, dynamic, yet quirky characters in Pete (Richard Dreyfuss) and Dorinda (Holly Hunter). But this serves only as a backdrop, because "Always" in fact portrays something quite rare and extraordinarily special. The real story is about good people, the kind that will always be there for you living on the edge, and a life-changing event, the type that rarely jumps out at you, even as it happens. Mostly, they appear in the rear-view mirror, or you catch a fleeting glimpse as the turns been taken. Afterwards, if your still standing you may say; I didn't see that coming. If you need a hint it's not St Pete's untimely departure, as Dorinda spouts "your number is definitely up." The real story is about the tragic loss of true love, holding on, and letting go. For Dorinda this plays out as a soul numbing heartbreak that follows Pete's catastrophic dead. Hunter portrays this as only one whom has experienced it can. As the story jumps ahead almost one year, Dorinda's life slowly spiraled out of control as sure as a plane crash. Time loses all meaning, all focus, and all purpose; until she's rescued by Al the pal (John Goodman) and later healed by Ted Baker (Brad Johnson). In the same way, only different, the self-assured wise cracking Pete suffers a fate laced with heartbreak, regret, and pain, but again time has no meaning. When it finally comes for him to ante up, he slips a little, stumbles, falls and for a dead guy gets totally out of line, "Right Rudder, Right Rudder...!" But, eventually with the help of his guardian angle Hap (Audrey Hepburn) and the guy that takes his place only better, he does the right thing and saves then frees the woman he still loves from the pain of his memory. At the very least "Always" has several classic comedic routines that are used to grow the story. These include "Cross Wind over the Trashcan" and "Umbrella Slurry Drop," both brilliantly pulled off by Goodman, as well as the "Runaway Follow Me Truck." Add to this Hunter's defining lines that frame this film; "It wasn't my birthday, Pete remembered it wrong", "He's too much twisted steel and sex appeal. I can't be with a guy that looks like I won him in a raffle", and "The town was awash. Fire, famine, and flood, he was one disaster short of the four horseman of the apocalypse in one PBY." What can I say, I love this movie because clearly it's something it's not. It's funny, it's sad, but most of all it's subtle, like a wild fire.
