I will forever be in awe of Reese Witherspoon. She is an amazing talent, that deserves to win an academy award for just about everything she's ever been in. With that being said, I can't not watch a film that she's worked on. This film, was just one of the many.
Mark Ruffalo co-stars with the great Witherspoon, in this very light romantic dramety. It's a film with very few laughs, but a lot of emotion. Ruffalo seems to choose films that are meant more for the female audience, and it really does work in his favor. He is himself a great actor, and has a certain poise on screen. The chemistry between he and Witherspoon was there, yet I've seen more chemistry with other stars.
The film itself was okay. It wasn't Oscar worthy by any means, however it did have a unique charm that I've never seen in any movie before. It did hold a small resemblance to "Heart and Souls" with Robert Downey, Jr., although this was more of a personal film. It dealt more with both the characters on a personal level than the Downey, Jr. film did.
It's not at all the story I was expecting, and I will warn you that the title, and preview severely mislead you. I thought that the two characters had known each other from earlier on in the story, and since the title is, "Just Like HEAVEN", I made some assumptions, that I shouldn't have.
I won't spoil the story, least of all the ending, to anyone...but I will say that it's not at all what you think it is. Almost a completely different film. But, I think it's still good in it's own right. I would recommend it. And, the best part is, that it's a film that the whole family can watch. Another reason to love Witherspoon. She chooses excellent scripts, and does a terrific job in everything she makes.
Not the best film ever, but it's cute, and a good and entertaining watch.
