Unfortunately, while I like the actress who played Vanessa, her character was totally unlikable. Love Iris, Kelly Bishop. I'm unfamiliar with the actor who played Nate, but felt he was more genuine. I didn't feel any real connection between them and it was difficult to pull for them as a couple. While she says she has opened up her heart to love, in actuality she didn't totally open up until the last 10 minutes. It's been difficult to totally be immersed in the movie and fast forwarding helped it move along, otherwise it was extremely slow moving. If you need a way to mindlessly get through a couple of hours, it'll do. I'll be hitting delete in about 2 minutes.
