Movie Reviews of If Only
Movie Review: appreciate her...love her
Summary: 5 Stars
Incredibly moving, lighthearted at times, IF ONLY is one of those movies that brings about conflicting emotions at the same time. The story is quite simple: Samantha (Hewitt) is, as she put it, a very distant second in her boyfriend Ian's (Nicholls) life and she is tired of it. Ian loves her, to be sure, but does not act on it. When Samantha suddenly dies, Ian regrets everything he did--or rather, did not do--when he had the chance to. But then, the morning after, he wakes up and Samantha is at his side, as alive as anyone, and it dawns on him that he's been given a second chance. Life, destiny, whatever you call it, pressed the rewind button on his life and allowed him to finally appreciate her, to actually love her.
I thought the movie was well done; like I said, very simple, nothing fancy. The leads fit their roles quite well. As a few reviewers have pointed out, Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't the greatest actress out there; however, in all the flicks I've seen her in, this was the one where she showed that she could actually act and do it well, given the right script, co-actors, director, etc. I found her very charming and likable in this movie. Paul Nicholls also gave a good performance as the cold, neglectful boyfriend; even more so when during the "rewind", as he finally opens up and drops all pretenses and just simply loves her.
This is a sad love story; so if you're the type to cry at the littlest things, I'd say be prepared and watch this with a handkerchief or tissues nearby. You'll leave feeling a little sad and wistful but in a good way..
