OK, first and foremost I think the best comparison is the Notebook on Steroids. Unlike the Notebook I like the real life characters and family struggles, but you have to drop the creepy old man philosophy. So many people are obsessed with old man, young girl "Daddy" complex analogies. What some of the reviews are missing is the true love Michael Caines character had for his wife, and how well he portrayed it. Hans Zimmer music was spot on and the transitions were amazing! I only gave it an 8 because of the ending. My personal opinion is they did such a good job building the characters that the ending fell a little flat. Other than that I highly recommend this movie. You will love it if you have an open mind, and leave your personal issues and opinions behind.
