    Not like I remembered

    by redyeah

    When I saw this as a kid, I thought this was one of the greatest movies ever. I recently watched it again, and it is not a classic. The plot is terrible. The acting worse and the dialogue a notch above that.

    One Hot Movie! It Took Me For A Ride!!

    Wow, this movie had me going over 70 miles an hour all the way to the end!! Every time Sandra Bullock teams up with K. Reeves, the fireworks are awesome!! I hope these two make more movies together! I loved them in The Lake House as well !!
