Incredible Movie!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!! I'm in shock over the low rating on this movie. I have to say, I LOVED every minute of this. I don't think I've cried at a movie like this one in many years.

I was expecting a cute plot, boy meets girl at a young age and there's some tiny hiccups, and all ends well. What I got was a large surprise. Fabulous acting, an ending I wasn't expecting at all, and I wound up going through a bunch of Kleenex.

Most love stories in movies are pretty predictable. What I really enjoyed about this one was there weren't so many predictable moments. I wasn't expecting her husband to shave his head before her. I wasn't expecting the ending at all.

The only plot hole that I was able to find was the old man toward the end. Sure he's the neighbor, but there's no relationship built or shown. He just sees the husband throwing a fit after he learns his wife will die. But that's it until one day he just shows up and sits on the bench in their front yard. I wish there was more expanded so it makes more sense when he comes to the husband and starts talking him.

This movie is soooo good and I hope more people watch it!
