SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT CLEAR, YOU CAN LISTEN AS WELL AS YOU HEAR!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE! GREAT WRITING AND GREAT ACTING! READ NO FURTHER UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE SEEN THIS MASTERPIECE.THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR FAILURE IN MARRIAGE AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS IS INSUFFICIENT COMMUNICATION. MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY SHARES COMMUNICATION FAILURES MADE BY ME AND SMALLVILLE'S CLARK KENT. THE EXCELLENT "ROME" SERIES SHOWS THAT SUCH FAILURE CAN EVEN RESULT IN SUICIDE AND DESTROYED OFFSPRING (NOT TO MENTION FAILURES IN OUR CAREER WHICH IN "ROME" LED TO CEASAR'S DEATH).WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE WORLD IS INCREASINGLY TEARING APART RELATIONSHIPS. SOULMATES MUST COMMUNICATE FULLY AND PRIVATELY TO PREVENT OUTSIDE DAMAGE AND TO DEVELOP THE HABIT OF DEFERRING ANSWERS UNTIL SUCH PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS CAN OCCUR. SOME SAY THAT MONEY IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DIVORCE, BUT THIS IS REALLY A LACK OF COMMUNICATION IN PLANNING AND COMPROMISING.IN ELVIS AND ANABELLE, A FAIRLY ISOLATED ELVIS TAKES CARE OF HIS MENTALLY DISABLED FATHER, EVEN DOING HIS UNDERTAKER WORK FOR HIM. IN TOWN, A GORGEOUS GIRL NAMED ANABELLE, PLAYED BY GODESS BLAKE LIVELY, IS STARVING HERSELF TO TRY TO BE A BEAUTY PAGENT WINNER. THE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES OF EATING DISORDERS ARE THAT THE GIRLS ARE OFTEN WAY TOO SKINNY AND EVEN DIE FROM THE DISORDER. ANABELLE DROPS DEAD. ELVIS IS ABOUT TO EMBALM HER, BUT FIRST FEELS LED TO KISS HER. SUDDENLY, A WIND BLOWS THE WINDOWS OPEN AND ANABELLE COMES BACK TO LIFE.I BELIEVE THAT NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES ARE SOMETIMES GIVEN BY OUR LOVING GOD TO GIVE PEOPLE A BETTER LIFE THAN WHAT THEY HAD BEFORE. CERTAINLY THIS WAS THE CASE FOR ANNABELLE AS HER LIFE WAS ABOUT AS EXCITING AS THAT OF TITANIC'S ROSE DEWITT BUKATER WITH CAL HOCKLEY!DUE TO YOUTH AND INEXPERIENCE AND PERHAPS A BIT OF A LONER, ELVIS DOES NOTHING TO ROMANCE ANNABELLE, WHO EVEN RUNS AWAY FROM HOME TO COME BACK TO THE EXACT SPOT SHE WAS RESURRECTED. LATER LAYING NEXT TO HIM ON A SCENIC QUIET, RURAL BRIDGE, ANNABELLE'S BODY LANGUAGE SENDS SIGNALS TO HIM. (I KNOW THAT I CAN'T RESIST LIVELY'S PHEREMONE SCENT!). NO RESPONSE, SO SHE STARTS TO CARESS HIM. A BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE DEVELOPS WITH THE DANGERS OF HER APPARENTLY BEING UNDERAGED, AND HIS BRYANESQUE/CLARKESQUE FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH OF HIS CURRENT FEELINGS FOR THIS SOULMATE AND THE FULL TRUTH OF THE MIRACOUS AND ROMANTIC KISS THAT "SAVED HER IN EVERY WAY THAT A WOMAN CAN BE SAVED." GOD HIMSELF WANTED THIS ONE IN ONE THOUSAND RELATIONSHIP TO OCCUR, AND SUPERNATURALLY INTERVENED TWICE TO MAKE IT SO!! HIS WORD TELLS US THAT ONLY 1 IN 1000 PERSONS ARE GOOD. I DEFINITELY BELIEVE HIM! AND I DEFINITELY ELECT TO BE SUCH A PERSON OF GREAT INNER BEAUTY! IF THERE ARE ANY BOO'S OUT THERE (SINGLES WITH INNER BEAUTY AND A PERIOD), PLEASE SURPRISE ME BY COMING TO SAMISHBAY TO STAY AS MY GUEST! YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE TREATED LIKE A DAUGHTER OR BEST FRIEND OR MORE IF YOU HAVE LIVEBOO'S MOVES!BY THE WAY, IF YOU ARE UNDERAGED, I AM OK WITH IT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ADULT EQUIVALENCY LIKE THE VIRGIN MARY DID WHEN SHE WAS BETROTHED TO JOSEPH. ONE OR MORE BOOBOO'S ARE WELCOME AT MY HOUSE ON SAMISHBAY WHERE THE GOAL IS TO MAKE EVERYDAY CHRISTMAS!WITH LOVE,guest writer BryanBooboo's please go to Sam Bay at facebook ABOUT for free lodging on beautiful Samishbay details and vacancy.

Deeply touching
This movie is such an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Not only does it probe life as often experienced by real people, it conveys such a depth of appreciation for the ties we have with others that I could not possibly express in words how moving some moments are in this gem of a film.Sadly, almost no-one has even heard about this movie. That is tragic, as it should be a must-see for everyone. While cleverly skirting a spiritual message, this script manages to also not exclude those of us who love to see the everyday moments that keep us longing to live. Truly, the most moving and touching moments in life are those that may, at first blush, seem mundane. Yet these are often the moments that live forever in your memory.And they are sometimes the moments that represent the Great Turning Points in life. This film captures that fact in ways that are all too often lacking in any form of entertainment.Can lying in a field of sunflowers change your life? You bet it can!See this film!!!

I cannot believe that I have never seen this movie. Apparently it was made before Blake lively was even cast in Gossip Girls, but she began starring in that before this was actually released. That is apparently what helped this movie - her stardom.For me, however, this movie is beyond Blake Lively. It is a movie about two people with flaws and pasts that have crept into their present lives.Annabelle and Elvis trying to navigate this world and discovering that you can't run away forever. At some point you have to face things. But that doesn't mean you have to face them alone.I rather wish we knew what happened to them. Do they ever find out they each saved each other from suicide?What happens with Annabelle's mother...

An Unexpected New Favorite
This is my first review, but so worth it for this movie. I saw this movie a little over a year ago on Lifetime. This channel is a last resort on long rainy days when there's nothing else on. It was the first time they were showing a movie that wasn't about some extremely dramatic situation; ie. young woman abused by father grows up and kills husbands for money until her mother breaks her legs and leaves her wheel chair bound at which point she meets an older doctor and marries who keeps her in the basement and raises their children. So this movie's story line was a welcome relief; enjoyable and very romantic, without being too sappy.I've waited all this time for it to go on sale and it was well-worth the wait!

A nice surprise!
I happened on to this movie yesterday on Lifetime. Decided to check it out for a couple of moments before I was going to turn the channel. To my surprise, I was immediately hooked. This is such an unexpected beautiful and endearing movie. It touches on so many levels of humanity. I loved it so much and can not believe I never even heard anything about it. How could such a great story (movie) like this go unnoticed, maybe it is going to be one of those soon to be cult films. It really is a special movie that everyone can fully enjoy of all age groups. I even now have it on my wish list and can not wait until it is released in October.

Interesting premise but the ending did not deliver
I was very excited to see this movie after reading all the wonderful reviews, but frankly I was disappointed. Blake Lively and Max Minghella were excellent, but Joe Mantegna was almost laughable. It seemed as if he wasn't sure how to play this role and just decided to take it as far as possible.The visual feel of this film was lovely even if the plot was a bit unbelieveable. The ending however was much too far-fetched and tied together too nicely, and the subtle hints that Annabelle's stepfather was abusing her were never explained. I appreciated this movie for what it was, a chick-flick with a bit of a dark twist, but in my opinion this movie is deserving of three stars, not five.
