A movie certainly worth viewing.  I liked it a lot....the ending was predictable but that didn't matter.  It's a feel good movie.

Not what I would call the-feel-good movie of the decade....but a editing masterpiece regardless!

We love movies like Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle and feel this movie fits that style.  Just a simple feel-good movie with likable characters.

You have to love the little moments because this movie is made of little moments. I watched this before I knew it was a comedy and when I found out it was I figured they just couldn't think of anywhere else to put it. This movie makes me feel like there are lots of things moving and changing that have nothing to do with me. A lot of people say they don't like the movie because they think Max is a prick. You're supposed to feel that way, I think. You're supposed to forgive him for that because he's got something special in him, or at least that in his case he knows about it. But it also seems like some people don't like the movie because it's different. I guess that if you're patient and you like the little things, you'll enjoy this movie. Also, if you feel like you're left out or sort of an outcast you might enjoy this movie. You know, the kind of person that doesn't have red or hammer as the first thing they think of when you ask them for a tool and a color.

I got this movie because Amazon recommended it based on some other movie that I watched.  I am not sure what movie that was or how it tied to this one, but I guess that is besides the point.  This movie is about a girl that is trying to get away from the town she grew up in like her girlfriend that left to go to college, but she doesn't have it so easy.  She ended up stealing from her boss in order to have some money.  Once she gets on the road in her beat up Escort, her car has problems and she runs into Sandra and Bill.  Because of my usual pessimistic attitude, I was immediately suspicious of this couple.  They were just tooo nice.  That never bodes well with me.

Anyways, it is a pretty good film.  It was very real in the sense that alot of girls may run away or somehow get on the streets and are so naive thinking that someone is going to help them just because.  It is a pessimistic attitude, but more than likely if someone comes out of nowhere to help you, normally there is a large price to pay. You have to think about if what you are running away from is really worth the price you will pay for help from strangers.  Alice found out.

This movie is not for children, so don't watch it with your little ones.  The Sandra character was a mixed bag, she was just so doggone sweet and understanding that you just don't really know how to feel about her.  Even though I did like the film, I am not sure if/when I would watch it again.  I did find the movie interesting and I thought the acting was great.  I also thought they did a good job of setting the characters up so that you could actually feel during the movie.  Good job!

On the surface it is somewhat light hearted, but has deep feeling story underneath.

Gorgeous cast compensates for almost all of this movies' flaws, which come mostly in the form of cliches, overdoing some of the messages and overly quick resolutions of major plotlines.  A feel-good movie in the right ways.

I just enjoyed the simplicity of this movie and the fact it was just a plain good "feel good" movie just like the first movie "The Marigold Hotel".  I could just immerse myself into this movie and not get startled by any unexpected vulgarity or explicit scenes that take away from the goodness of a real enjoyable film.  And I like that these "older" characters are playing roles of age reality.  Just a plain fun move for me.

Nice romantic movie with that love not quite hate relationship.

This is a simple movie, not made to be dissected, competed with or watched for the plot or action. rather, the film provides a taste of SoCal that is partly mythical and partly disappearing and for that alone i loved it.

there's something wholesome about the film, left me feeling good which does not happen too often for me, and almost never with the large commercial blockbusters. to see Willie Nelson's smile, that alone was worth waiting for. mcConnaughey does a good job, as does Harrelson & most of the crew.

in other words, this is not about surfing. it is about friendship and about knowing what you love.

Just a nice, feel good movie that's perfect for a bad weather day or if you are stuck at home sick.

I love Patricia Clarkson and the type of films she performs in. Some good life lessons in a feel good movie
