I've decided I am going to go see this movie tomorrow.

I loved Keanu and Sandra in Speed and thought they had a great connection. I just hope the movie doesn't suck, which I have a slight feeling it might. But if I get to stare at these two all movie long, I guess that alone is worth it.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I liked it a lot!

It was a bit predictable, but the good kind - no stupid surprises.

Very meat and potatoes chick flick! :thumbup: I will definitely buy this movie when it comes out. Both actors did a great job!

PS - Keanu Reeves is just... smoking hot. And I would turn lesbian for Sandra Bullock.

edited to add: I also love movies where the main chick is named KATE!

My wife and I saw this last night. I could recommend it as a date movie. Better than I thought that it would be. I don't care much for Sandra Bullock but she didn't annoy me too much in this one.

We saw it last night...

Horrible...

Bad acting, horrible writing...some really, really awkward scenes...

And the time travel stuff made no sense.

Well, the scene on the roof of the house with Keanu and his brother...was so horribly done...

I guess they didn't act as bad as I may have said, but I don't think the writing was good at all and really made the acting look worse than it was.

Keanu Reeves is nice to look at, but he is, BY FAR, one of if not THEE WORST male actor out there.

I haven't seen this movie and have been debating about whether or not to check it out, but time travel stuff? Um, no thanks.

I don't always think he's a bad actor, I just think he just has that voice and look that makes him seem dumb and monotone...

But maybe NOT being that way is part of being a good actor :)
