I'm ordering "Truly, Madly, Deeply" today from Amazon, (thanks for the tip, I'm looking forward to this!) along with another gem I just saw last weekend: "Dear Frankie". It could have been sentimental and sappy, but instead was absolutely delightful. And for us Gerard Butler fans, it was a huge treat. (If you look at the reviews, ignore the Entertainment Weekly one and the Village Voice one, as the reviewers apparently never saw the movie and gave their reviews based on the story synopsis. Look at Ebert and Roper, and the "real people" reviews, which show how outstanding it is. IMO.)

Make sure to have a fresh box of tissues. It's a real tear-jerker.

It was on one of the Cinemax or Starz! channels about 2 weeks back, so of course, I watched it again. I do own the DVD, but I haven't listened to much of the commentary yet. Just the first 15-20 minutes. It's hard to pay attention to the commentary while you're sobbing.

Despite the sobbing bit, it really is an outstanding movie, and not just a chick flick. Some have compared it to "Ghost," but there's really no comparison. "Ghost" stinks. TMD is incredible.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that one!
