Saturday Matinee! If Only!

If Only

If you had to choose a day in your life to re-live all over again, which day would you choose, and why would you choose to relive that particular day?

I saw IMDb’s Ultimate Romantic Movie List recently. This movie is listed as #1, but Titanic is #2. Although I did enjoy this romantic movie, I have to admit that it DOES NOT top Titanic!

Ian, a British businessman, is emotionally neglectful toward Samantha, his girlfriend. Feeling like a second-class citizen, Samantha is unsure if their relationship will work. Ian adores Samantha, but, does not understand why she’s upset with his actions. Clueless, Ian wants Samantha to know that he adores her, but, he doesn’t know how to show her how he feels. When Samantha dies in a car accident, Ian is stunned when he’s miraculously given a second chance to prove his love.

This movie had a slight science-fiction/whimsical slant. Since Ian is given a second chance to relive the previous day, the movie kind of reminds you of the film GROUNDHOG DAY.

I loved how Ian did his best to make his second chance count. The surprise ending will make you sit up and realize that it’s important to show the ones that we love how we feel about them.

If you had to choose a day in your life to re-live all over again, which day would you choose, and why would you choose to relive that particular day?

If you’ve seen this movie, I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts about it!
