Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

leplatypus I imagine easily the studio meeting for pitching this movie. "Well, the A-list directors (Lynch, Burton) have done great movies about rural America. I want the same. Take "True story" for a quiet, lazy rhythm and the motivation to get to a destination at all cost. Take "Big Fish" to tell an original love story tainted with dreams, poetry, colors and stunning visuals". Thus, the result is this bizarre, clumsy movie in which a young dead bride and his criminal husband wish to honeymoon at Niagara Falls with the help of painted horses and an old rodeo showman! The characters are so unbelievable that no emotion comes. Their journey is a simple shopping spree. The falls aren't really romantic as well as the rodeo touch. The only good thing here is the cast, especially Sienna, as an energized, always happy, simple wife.

rooprect The less you know about the plot, the better. The best way to enjoy this movie is to just expect a fairytale. Be ready for a crazy, surreal, comedic & romantic story, and don't try to rationalize any of the wacky things that happen.I picked up this DVD for $2 at my local Blockbuster, and if you hurry down to yours there may be a few left in the bargain bin. You'll get your money's worth and then some! Packaged as a romantic comedy about a good girl & a bad boy, the description hardly begins to scratch the surface. But I have to commend the DVD distributors for not giving away the story. The fun is when it hits you and you realize what an original, cute & slightly creepy story this is. And the humour follows brilliantly. I advise you not to even watch the trailer (which gives away the story somewhat).Still, you're probably wondering what the heck this movie is about. I won't say, but you can probably compare it to such surreal modern fantasies as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Stranger than Fiction", "Being John Malkovich" and an obscure gem called "Grand Theft Parsons". All these excellent films share the common approach of dealing with heavy, soul-searching themes in light-hearted ways. They make you think about your life & your philosophy of living, or... you could just enjoy some laughs & silly times. There's something in it for everyone."Camille" is rated PG-13 and even that is a bit stern. There's no nudity, no gratuitous sex or violence, and hardly any profanity that I can remember. Compared to other modern rom-coms, it may seem watered down to some, but to me it was even more refreshing. Like a fairytale, there's something about it that makes you feel like a kid again, even though the story can get pretty weird.The acting & casting is perfect. Sienna pulls off the lead role of being a hopelessly cheerful girl without being sappy or annoying. Her beau is the perfect counterpart: a cynical rogue but with a boyish innocence and cute crooked smile that makes you instantly like him, even when he's being a total butt. And David Carradine as the wise- yet-kooky cowboy... wow, what can I say but he has a great comedy career ahead of him if he chooses to go that way.So don't hesitate to go see this film. It's a rom-com, a road movie, an emotional drama, a fantasy & above all else a fairytale. If more movies were like this, I'd probably start going to the theater again.

haley paulsen I have no idea why this movie just hits all the right spots but it does. Of course the acting was solid; Milller and Franco did an excellent job. But if I try to think what exactly is so touching, I can't specify it at all, it just is. Period. It's strange and bazaar to say the least and yet it draws out real emotion. You be the judge. It definitely was refreshing and worth the time. I'm usually very picky about story lines, characters..etc.,but for some reason this breaks all my rules and it just draws you in. It's quite smooth and wasn't forced considering how strange the events were. I don't think anyone can forget a movie like this one. I know I won't.

jszijarto I'm somewhat puzzled by the reviewers (many professional) that couldn't appreciate the fairy-tale storyline and suspend their disbelief. This is one of the cutest, most romantic movies I have ever seen. It is all about the power of love, a fast-forward view of a whole lifetime lived within a short honeymoon. From a spotless wedding-gown to withering away as we age, with love that only grows stronger and more true. This is definitely a love-it or hate-it movie, though everyone seems to agree that the acting was superb. It's the size and softness of your heart that will determine if you love it, some people just don't get romance. I have seen it now several times on video, and I still can't help but cry when it rains rice and when Silas and Camille dance in the rain to the "Ways of Way Back When." And I'm a grown man, go figure. Beautiful, stunning movie, a fairy tale for those who have lived long enough to understand true love, whether they've found it or not.
