I thought that this movie was a delightful movie. It was a romantic comedy that I will be sure to watch again and again. I put it in the same category as _Wristcutter: A Love Story_. This movie brought a smile to my face, and honestly I went in to it thinking this would be just a stupid movie that would be as predictable as any sports movie. (ie Underdog team sucks, something pulls them together, they lose first game or two, come together as a team, start doing well, make it to finals, are really losing first half, great half-time pep talk, they come together, and either win it last second, or in over-time). However, this movie did not follow the romantic comedy cliches, for the most part. The ending thoroughly surprised me. What a delightful treat. I'd recommend this little gem to anyone, including my grandparents. Anyone else agree?

I sure do. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It is an offbeat tale of romance with a twist. The story is quite original in it's concept, unlike all the copy cat movies we see these days.

Some great acting in it, too. Some old veterans we rarely get to see anymore, lie Scott Glenn. Of course, since Keith Carradine has passed we can't see him, but it was delightful to see him in this. James Franco is turning out to be a pretty darn good actor as well.

It doesn't move at lightning speed so be prepared to enjoy it's pace and have some patience, it gets better over time.

I was expecting a dud, but something about her red hair on the dvd cover caught my interest (reminded me of "Run Lola Run"). I ended up loving it.

Its fresh & original approach was what drew me in. Like the OP said, it didn't have all the standard rom-com clichés. And the story totally took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting such a wacky turn of events.

Even the death plot was handled in an original way. I love the way the husband figures it out pretty quickly & without any melodramatics. And I love the way Cowboy Bob is right in step without any ridiculous denial. I figure if a movie is going to be supernatural, it shouldn't waste any time trying to rationalize it. Great flick for people who like fantasy/surreal films.

I looked through the userreviews and most of them at least 25 of the 33 made thus far are positive towards it... There's always gonna be a couple people that don't like any movie, and to be fair it's not the most mainstream movie made but I like it too
