Movie Reviews of The Very Thought of You
Movie Review: a fun caricature of extroverts and introverts in love
Summary: 5 Stars
A delightful romp of a romantic comedy. What makes it stand out from most other Hollywood romances about love at first sight is that it is a very funny caricature of introverts and extroverts. The movie makes absolutely no pretense about being realistic (someone falls in love in...exactly...thirty seconds - did the director time this scene?). You watch this movie for the facial expressions, the body language, the fleeting touches, for laughing at who is really paying attention, and who is not. Who puts the moves on and who does not. Who calls a woman the most times and who does not.
If you read a book like "Are you my type, Am I Yours? Relationships Made Easy Through the Enneagram" which tells you how to recognize successful and unsuccessful achievers (type 3) and romantics (type 4), and then watch this movie over again, then you will pick up on all kinds of things you don't notice the first time. There's hardly any character development (not supposed to be - they're caricatures) but in a way it is a really groundbreaking movie because it came out in 1999. Today you find all these webpages out there like "The Mind of an Introvert: Why We Act the Way We Do" "How Introverts Communicate" and "Introverts in an Extroverts World." You've got books like "The Introvert Advantage" and "The Introvert & Extrovert in Love", most of which have all come out just within the last 3-6 years. You've got the author of "Good to Great" telling us that 40% of top CEOs have introverted tendencies and wikipedia telling us how extroverts and introverts minds are really different. What is really amazing is that this movie was ahead of the curve, it came out before all these ideas became so widespread.
And perhaps it's because of all the introverts out there that this movie is rated so highly.
