The best movie I've seen in a while. I wasn't sure how they would pull off a love story told two years apart, but they did. Great chick flick... and my fiancee said he liked it too. I reccomend this movie 100%.

Acredito se o filme mais terno que já vi nos últimos tempos. Adorei a simplicidade desse amor retratado com tanta sutileza.
