I usually enjoy Sandra Bullock in these type of roles. I can do without Keanu Reeves. I did enjoy A Walk In The Clouds, but in my opinion, Reeves' demeanor never changes no matter what roll he takes on. He always has that empty, clueless look about him. Sandra, on the other hand, is often very enjoyable no matter what the roll is. I liked the story, but I felt like you never really get familiar with the characters. Also, I think the movie makers did a very poor job of convincing the viewer that Bullock and Reeves have fallen in love. There just isn't any substance to their relationship. Sandra Bullock has a line that says something like "Him I want to give my whole heart to.". When she says it, you just can't believe her no matter how hard you try. There is a part that I got teared up on though and that is when Reeves' character looks through the book that was written about his father after his father's death. This was the most touching scene in the whole movie.
I didn't hate the movie by any means, it's just that I feel like a good story idea was wasted by not digging deeper into what should have been the heart of film. The love between the two main characters. It just wasn't there.
