Wow. I saw this movie this evening, again. Besides being a thoroughly effective tear-jerker that shows just how much Steve Martin has grown as an actor (and interestingly enough, a writer), it is also quite entertaining. And I think Claire Danes is fucking gorgeous.
Had me swallowing hard at the end, and I give not two fucks if EA collectively calls me a puss. Fuck you in advance, this movie is the best of its genre.

hahha yea that last line, about how he distanced himself from her and all, actually was really well done. steve martin never fails and he really comes through in this movie. but i am not a big fan of jason schwartzman. i'd say its a not crap movie.

I love Steve Martin and I saw this movie. Then, I watched paint dry for two hours because I needed some action.

i love steve martin, and i really like his writing. but i only 45% loved this movie, and mostly for jason schwartzman. claire danes was... not all that annoying. but steve martin, as much as i would like him to rock my body, was creepy and somewhat ineffective. i dunno... i think they needed to have some chemistry and for the most part i don't think that happened.
looked nice though.

Where's the "Creepy as all fuck" option?
This is about the creepiest film I've ever sat through.
Not romantic, not mush: just creepy as all fuck. My brain needed a shower after watching it.

My favourite scene in this film is where Steve Martin tells Claire Danes to stay where she is. The camera remains still while he wanders off into his house. Martin then steps in from the left and gives this really ominous look. Cut to Claire Danes, who is now reclining on her stomach, nude.
The short time it took for this to occur led me and the friend I saw the film with to hypothesize that Steve Martin's glare was powerful enough to strip her and knock it over. There's really no other explanation.
