Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)

Just a great movie from a great book

The unexpected, the insanity of love
which can be an eternity of torment for a very few.
"You confuse cholera with love."
To me this is great modern movie with an happy ending. January 4, 2009

Plenty of cheese but missing a wow factor

2.5 stars. For years I've heard of the this wonderful book, but given the long list of books on my table I opted instead to watch the movie. BIG mistake. There are lines in this movie so corny I can't stop wincing at the screen. I never bond with the two main characters and never experience the longing I'm supposed to have for these two to finally come together. For some reason I don't think that it's the actor's fault. More the screenplay and the direction. Oh well, I guess there's always reading the book. December 28, 2008

Long and kinda boring

This movie was too long and somewhat boring. It has charm and some beautiful secenes but as a whole the work is disappointing. I purchased the movie and watched it once and may never watch it again. The story is good, but it just dosent manifest well on the screen. I would recommend that you watch it but rent it first rather than buy. If you like it then you buy it. I am glad its in my collection, but I may not watch it anymore. December 16, 2008

It's a little cheesey but isn't love always?

The movie has a great story line but some of the acting is a little unbelievable. In a perfect world I would remake it, cast my own script,rewrite some of the lines, and add more drama. Enjoyable enough but not a movie I would want to see more than once a year. November 27, 2008

Highly Disappointing!

I had high expectations about this movie before I saw it. It was in my favorite movies of all time collection, with The Notebook as comparison, as one of those tear-jerker love stories. And then, I saw the movie on a cold and supposedly romantic evening and all of my expectations went to waste. The movie in general was like a soft porn. The love story yet supposed to be spanning a lifetime, just dragged forever in circles. When the movie ended, I wanted to toss the dvd and never see it again. November 24, 2008
