When I saw this, I quickly recalled some of the best rom-com movies I've since such as Just Like Heaven, Garden State, 500 Days of Summer, 13 going on 30, Annie Hall, Barefoot in the Park and the others I can't remember at all! Thought comparably, thy fantasy mix are none of the movies I recalled resemble (except of course Just like Heaven and 13 going on 30, which, to many aren't even an inch of beauty compared to the others I've mentioned). Heartwarming—that was the first adjective that popped in my mind. As always I've been enchanted to stare at Christina Ricci's roundish, beatific but wittily adorned visage. The cast was just simply funny. Grant and O'Hara were admirable as Penelope's parents. Woods and McAvoy were an additive to the rom-com fun. Even Peter Dinklage's presence made me felt the movie's fantasy side (no irony with that). The characters were wrapped by a decently structured screenplay. They've totally got a skill in creating this film a true uplifting, sad-to-happy-ending story that didn't only focused on the character's obvious problems but hinted viewers some possibility to end a happy-ever-after love story. Creative, though I can't say the best rom-com I've ever seen (Garden State, 500 Days of Summer and of course Annie Hall are more worth of giving praise) its truly worth watching by its own genre.
