Captivating from beginning to end, this romantic comedy will woo language-lovers everywhere. A swift kick to the intellect, with a sugary-sweet story on the side. Quick dialogue, a solid cast, an almost surrealistic atmosphere and one of the most fitting soundtracks of the decade. There's little to complain about, maybe a few lines here and there that I believe could've been excluded from the script, but nothing detrimental to the over-all feel of the film.
What I love most about the movie (aside from the obvious eye-candy of it being filmed both in black & white and color) was its undeniable originality. Of all the romance I've seen, this remains one of my absolute favorites. And it was the tiny little details that made it so. This woman did her homework, and she's delivered it with style.
Favorite Lines:
"My grandmother used to call it a fi-fi. I mean, isn't that nice? A fi-fi?"
"Never settle for anything less than extraordinary. Because, if you do, life will suck..."
"Come on, would you want to do it with someone whose last name is the worst day of the week?"
