Re:~I Want A Love Like That!!!~ snowyheart: I haven't seen the movie. And I think cheating on a spouse is terrible.
But, I think if the movie is trying to convey that, no matter what, we should be with the love of our lives, then, I think that is great.
Sadeyes, I get where your coming from..... ;)
We want and dream and hope for that love that just elevates us beyond anything imaginable.
at least, I do.
Re:~I Want A Love Like That!!!~ Shanna: I would have LOVED the movie IF IF IF IF IF she had broken up with her boyfriend when she saw the picture of the other "old flame" and those feelings came rushing back... BEFORE she ran to the "old flame" and slept around on her fiance.
this movie just glamorized cheating on your SO
oh forgot to add...no hard feelings....I can agree to disagree....
Re:~I Want A Love Like That!!!~ timetobefree: Sad Eyes,
It was never my intent to make you feel bad! I hope you know that! SORRY!!!!!! And I am sorry if I ruined the movie for you...I guess if anything, perhaps it gives a very human face to a cheater's story and the reasons behind it...when many of us are so quick to judge them. So there is my silver lining!!!! :P
No hard feelings at all...and if it is any consolation, the sappier the movie, the more I usually love it. Everything normally makes me cry...in fact, did anyone watch Dr. Phil today? I went thru three stinkin' kleenex! And yes, BG, they do suck!
And if you liked the movie, then I suggest the book. If anything, the book is even sappier and I think you would enjoy it.
Amy ;D
Re:~I Want A Love Like That!!!~ Sad Eyes: TTBF~ No! You didn't ruin the movie for me...like I said...it's one of my favorites. Just didn't want anybody to twist or misunderstand where I was coming from here. That's all...no hard feeling at all. I see where everybody is coming from here. I respect everybody's opinions...that is why I love ojar! :D I just don't want to hurt anybody...that's all. :(
Oh no! Dr. Phil? Isn't he fun to watch. Thank god for kleenex huh? ;D P.s. He has gotten me a few times too.
I might just have to read the book...considering the movie left out alot of what the book was all about. ;)
No worries! :)

Re:~I Want A Love Like That!!!~ Sad Eyes: TTBF~ I didn't read the book...only seen the movie. This is just what I got from the movie and YES....everybody is going to look at it in a different way. Again...only seen the movie. Still love it! I NEVER said cheating was okay...I just said I could see where everybody came into play and how life can throw things in our way and we need to make the best decisions we can for our own happiness. Complicated? Yes! I guess that is why I love the movie. I guess I could see where Ali was coming from...actually I could see where everybody was coming from right down to her parents. This thread went in a different direction from where I wanted it to go. :-\ I respect everybody voices here. :)
Crushed~ YES! I am a romantic! I sucker for punishment...NO!(now lastnight I would agree with you BUT in general no. ;)) I just love the idea of love. :) Don't get me wrong I know real life isn't always hearts and flowers but it has to be sometimes right? ;)
Sully~That isn't what I meant...come on now! I am so sorry for any misunderstanding here!:(
Did anybody see where I was coming from here or am I just in the dark on this one? Anyone? Anyone? :-[
Sorry if anybody misunderstood me here...I never meant to hurt anybody's feeling. Just difference of opinions. Agree to disagree I guess. :-\
