This film was a disappointment to me. I had read the book over the summer. It was a book I could not put down much to the annoyance of my wife. The book was a love story over time, but also much more. It had elements of Lolita and was quite violent at times. Its ending was very tragic. The film although very beautifully shot lack a soul. I could not believe in the characters as much as I did in the book.

Rachel Mcadams was good in the part but I hate to say it, but I grew tired of her smile. Eric Bana played the part in a daze. The children who played the part of the young Rachel and their daughter were excellent. The film began to drag towards the end and it seem longer than the 107 minutes. Benjamin Button which dealt with the passage of time much better and the 166 minutes seemed to go much quicker.

This film has had some good review, but to me it was no Ghost. The ending did not have the impact that the book had for me
