Have any of you seen this film with Gerard Butler, Hillary Swank, Lisa Kudrow, Harry Connick Jnr and Kathy Bates? lol I'm just reeling the names off for fun here. ;D Well for anyone who hasn't seen it, it's a rom com type film, and Gerard's character dies, and then his girlfriend played by Hillary Swank finds letters he has written to her before he died. So yeah it's not only funny but quite sad also.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago, thought it was good, but kept thinking why does it seem so familiar? I realised I'd read the book last summer! In the book you don't find out he's dead until halfway through, it's very cleverly done because she is still opening the letters!

Oh I didn't know there was a book as well. Yeah I think that would have been better, had he died half way through the film, rather than at the beginning. Btw have you seen Inception yet? We are watching it this weekend. My mum thought it was brilliant, but said you have to watch the whole film without interruptions as we may not get it. I'm not quite sure whether she was implying me and hubby are a bit thick, or not though. ;D

Hi Caz, he was dead at the beginning of the book, but you don't realise until halfway through. The main character (Hilary Swank one) is actually Irish in the book not American. We saw Inception when it first came out, I thought the special effects were brilliant, but I still don't have a clue what it was all about Craig reckons he understood it (liar!!) Emily got the DVD for Christmas so I might watch it again to see if it makes sense the second time round. (Emily's boyfriend refuses to watch it with her because she'll ask questions all the way through )

I loved Inception but Paul went to bed after 10 mins ;D He said he likes to be entertained not have to think about whats going on. You definately have to watch it all the way through though with no interruptions as it's very hard to comprehend at first

Well a guy at hubby's work has managed to get us a copy of Never let me Go, with Keira Knightley in, after your recommendation Kim, so I think I will watch this film tonight and save Inception for an evening when I don't feel so rough and tired. I will let you know what I thought of it on here tomorrow.

We finally got around to watching Inception last night, and I got it....... Just. Well at least I think I did. Tbh I found the first 20 minutes or so, pretty boring, and I was already saying I didn't get it, but when the young girl came into the film who designed the maze, it started to make more sense. ;D Has anyone seen the Fighter yet? We have got that film to watch yet as well.
