I love this movie and have been hoping it would come out on DVD. I have been waiting for a few years now. There are some used ones listed on Amazon, but I doubt they are true copies. I actually have the VHS, but I want it on DVD before my VHS degrades completely. I also wish they would play it more often on TV. If anyone reading this has any say in the possibility of coming out on DVD, you have my vote. It blows me away when I see true losers on DVD, but then have such a great movie neglected. The first time I saw the movie, it was playing on HBO, I think I watched every showing of it until they quit playing it. It is totally a feel good movie. It's about the innocence, and trust of a sweet natured man has against the jaded con-woman who is trying to run a scam on him. It has a mystical bent, which I really enjoy. I am a huge Brendan Fraser fan, there have only been a couple movies he's done that I really think stink. I highly recommend seeing this film, although one might consider it a chick flick, my husband really likes it too.

Super casting job - I do not know of any others who could have handled the parts so well. A true look beyond the superficial plastic sides of characters we usually see. A truly pleasing experience to watch. Brendan Frasier and Joanna Going have much more going for them then the typical fluff of Hollywood types and this movie displays their depth well. Celeste Holm is enchanting and the supporting cast add much color and flavor.
... View MoreI can't remember how I came across this unheard-of movie a few years ago, but I am a fan of Brendan Fraser and so I settled back to watch it. I'd never heard one little thing about this movie before, and I was so pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. There was a quiet magic about the whole story. It was a beautiful, peaceful, serene experience just to watch the relationship develop and to enjoy those stunning scenic shots. When the movie ended I felt so relaxed and refreshed! Some months later I had a chance to watch it again, and once again it was like a calming meditation. "Beautiful" and "Magical" are the only two words coming to mind to describe this movie. It's excellent, and I recommend it highly if you're in the mood for something sweet and peaceful that will make you feel much more alive afterwards. I give it 8 out of 10. Wonderful movie.
... View MoreCynics and idiots have dismissed this movie as "unrealistic" or "a boring chick flick." Too bad. They just don't get it.This is a romantic comedy in the old style, where a lovable eccentric dreams of his one true love and goes to seek her out. Naturally, she turns out to be fallen woman with a heart of gold. Where in the twenties this might have lead to "zany comedy" this is more like a poem--soft and romantic and sweet. Visually, musically, emotionally it is beautiful--not stunningly beautiful like a sunset, but warm and beautiful and familliar like like a hidden garden you happen upon for the first time, sure you have dreamt about a place just like this. We would all like to believe (at least I hope we would) in true love.The folks who dismiss this movie are like the heroine, Ros: cynical, hard edged and business like, with no room for dreams or fantasies in their cold cruel realistic worlds. But in the end Ros gets it. She allows herself to dream and to believe. Pity those morons who don't.Movies aren't about "realism." They're about fantasy. This one rocks.
