This is the first time I watched this movie in about 3 years. And I must say I really enjoyed watching it again. It is filled with lots of great action. My favorite character has to be Annie (Sandra Bullock) of course!... but after her I liked Keanu Reeves.  I think both of them did an excellent job. This is definitely one I would recommend.

Plot:
Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long) strike sparks for a summer fling in New York City but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett remains behind for his Big Apple job. But after six increasingly romantic weeks, neither is sure they want it to end. So despite the opposing coasts, naysaying friends and family and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love. And helped by a lot of texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, the might actually go the distance.

Extras:

• Bonus Trailers
• Deleted Scenes

I couldn't sleep last night so ended up watching a few movies. I started with this one as I have always liked Drew Barrymore. And this one was no exception. I enjoyed this film quite a bit. I really liked all the characters and the film flowed well. This is actually a film I never even heard of before seeing it on the library shelf. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it. I recommend checking it out.
