May 4, 2010It reminded me of a Canadian B movie, but with an A list cast - including Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Sure It's a nice love story - complete with the baggage of past family and each other's shortcomings. In the end, I found it kind of mushy. I've seen a couple of comparisons ... read more

August 16, 2009Sad, sensual, sensational and well-acted. Diane Lane and Richard Gere give life to this powerful story of love, letting-go and forgiveness. The hurricane sequence is skillfully done. I liked the coastal scenery. The only thing: too many cans of good food were trashed.

August 5, 2009The stars are above such treacly material but they do the best they can with it and Viola Davis is fun in her all too brief role.

August 3, 2009The DVD copy I borrowed of this was faulty and pretty much wouldn't play from one hour into it till the end. It was watchable, but it didn't do a whole lot for me, and I don't think seeing the ...SPOILER......death would have changed my opinion too much.
I actually think that wi... read more -
April 9, 2009Wonderfully, teary romantic and love story about hope, the rediscovery of happiness and, ultimately, scarifice. In this film, Richard Gere and Diane Lane have more chemistry than a science lab - and so they should, it's their third film together!
First teaming for the ambitious ... read more -

Most of the movie was cloying. All of it was predictable. Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The comparative savvy that Wolfe showed in HBO's stage-to-TV transfer of Lackawanna Blues has gone missing. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Richard Gere suffers less than Diane Lane. He gets by with a mixture of skill and self-irony. She acts up a storm in every scene, but you root for the hurricane. Full Review

What really sells this three-hanky tear-jerker -- and there were a lot of women buying it during a recent screening -- is Lane's steely and vulnerable performance. Like Tinker Bell, she almost made me... Full Review

Though the stars are likable and attractive, the movie is a melodramatic and soppy affair. Full Review

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
No character in this turbulent sea of love crashing on the shores of misfortune is any more developed than they are in Sparks' potboiler. Full Review

The film tastefully yet unenergetically chugs along. Full Review

The movie around Lane and Gere is unreal, a tortured construct, but they open a breathing space in its center. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
I can kind-of, sort-of see how this story might work as a novel. Bad dialogue doesn't sound as howlingly awful when not spoken aloud. Idiotic plot contrivances don't seem as painful and obvious. Full Review
