Keith is a perfect movie!

I must say the Keith movie does everything right. It really captures the burning love of a young man for a woman that he thinks is out of his league until it downs on him that he has 'everything' to lose. And a young woman's life that she thinks is so beautiful with a 'feel right' boyfriend to boot until she met Keith.

This movie leaves a lot to the imagination like when Keith knows how it is devastating to lose someone so dear... when he lost his mother that's why he wanted Natalie to hate him before he 'secretly' dies.

The analogy of lonely abandoned bowling balls being given for adoption to a personal match making longing for the love of his secret childhood sweetheart is therapeutic perfection in pun.

Natalie is brave in defying her parents and dumping her 'perfect' boyfriend and loving inspite of Keith's dissapointments and incessant jokes enshrouded in shadows of his 'mysterious' self. This is teenage rebellion and love at its finest!

Keith's character is deep and powerful even though he has a sad life and in the end he did make a difference and touched all our lives. There is a Natalie and a Keith in all of us!

This movie really made me cry. Love is really timeless and forever.

This is not a story about a tennis champion divorcing her perfect wealthy high school sweetheart. And its not a story about cheating and wreckless behavior either. This is a story about life and its meaning and how love finds its way even through a dire and hopeless fate.

First Keith didn't set out to have Natalie. Remember he just want to have 'fun' with her but he ended up bringing her courage to fix her life instead. Second, for Natalie, life is not all about just collecting prizes and success on an empty box. Its about what you want to be and who you are.

God has given Keith, Natalie to champion that life is not all that is sad and hopeless. That there is something more in life than fulfillment and dreams. Natalie also has realized that when she met Keith and she gave him a gift that cannot be put in a box but only to love. Sometimes an empty gift is deceptive it is more valuable than what you think but the giver of that gift is your blessing and miracle. Natalie is Keiths's miracle and Keith is Natalie's champion.
