Although I did enjoy this romantic movie, I have to admit that it <a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/saturday-matinee-titanic-movie.html\">DOES NOT top Titanic! <\/a><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s upset with his actions. Clueless, Ian wants Samantha to know that he adores her, but, he doesn&#8217;t know how to show her how he feels. When Samantha dies in a car accident, Ian is stunned when he&#8217;s miraculously given a second chance to prove his love.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s important to show the ones that we love how we feel about them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>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?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve seen this movie, I&#8217;d enjoy hearing your thoughts about it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"26525EB\" src=\"http:\/\/g.christianbook.com\/g\/ebooks\/covers\/w185\/2\/26525eb_w185.png\" alt=\"26525EB\" width=\"111\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Milk-Money-ebook\/dp\/B007AV2KUU\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1348402848&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=cecelia+dowdy\">~Cecelia Dowdy~<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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?
