I haven`t been touched by a romantic comedy for long.

It`s actually not that unique, just like ordinary love movies: sweet lines, nice music, charming actors & actresses.

But just somehow, my tears flooded in the theater.

Touching plot:

Holly`s husband Gerry, was taken by brain tumor. He knew her life without him will be miserable for long time, so he delicately arranged 12 letters to be sent to his love before he left the world. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so even he physically disappeared from the world; he is still around spiritually with his wife.

The director totally omits the period, when he might suffer a lot from his disease and Holly took good care of him. In contrast, Gerry in the movie is more of a role, who exists in the memory of Holly after God took his life but generously granted his love around with his beloved wife. And the most touching point, those letters, lovingly arranged by Gerry in his last period, seemed to make Holly tied to the past, indulged in the torture of losing her husband, but in fact, each letter is guiding her towards a brand new future.

11 years after their marriage, even though Holly married Gerry at 19, a premature age for decision-making, even though their combination were against by both parents side, even though they don’t have plans for kids due to the financial constraint, even though they often complain, quarrel, become impetuous and bad-tempered to each other, still Gerry told Holly ,

             " I know we’re going to last for long, because even now, every morning when I wake up, the first thing I want to see is still your face.”

And that might be resulting from the amazing force of marriage, when you spend that long period of time with a person, nobody knows you better than your partner. The connection might turn weaker due to various factors, but will never disappear if the couple decides to stay together because of their passion instead of habits or inertia only.

Holly`s mother: She once had passionate feelings for Holly’s father and married to him when she was quite young. The guy could always create joy in her life. She might have been a girl, who heard promises and sweet words every day, like other girls. But just one day, her husband left, abandoning her and the kids. And that’s why she told Holly.

      “You know the worst thing for a parent... second after losing a child? Watching your child head for the same life you had. You can't stop it. It's a terrible, helpless feeling. It makes you angry all the time. And I've been angry for a very long time. I'm exhausted.”

I guess Holly might feel angry too about her mother’s objection to her choice. But parents are parents, protection of their own babies precedes other things.

Phoebe (forgot her name in movie), the one in our familiar “Friends” joined the movie, still her, still stunning despite more wrinkles around the eyes, still plays a role, who posts touché comments, a little bit cyclical, but honest & straightforward. She hangs around in the bar, checking those randomly met, good-looking guys, if he is single, straight, currently working and last, but not least, whether he is a good kisser. Lack of any one of these 4 necessary conditions, out! Her male friend despised her giddiness.

She doesn’t care, she claimed,” after centuries of men looking at my tits in stead of my eyes and pinching my ass instead of shaking my hand, I now have the divine right to stare at a man's backside with vulgar & cheap.”

No idea if this type of extreme creature exists in the world, maybe yes, just beyond my social scope. If she does exist, I am wondering, she knows exactly what she seeks for, which is the quality rarely seen among ladies, does that mean the quarry, who finally got captured by her, can ultimately bring her the life she wants, the happiness she desires for?
