October 27, 2009has anybody noticed how streisand is similar to sandra bullock in many ways? it's a film about two people who are 90% perfect for each other, 100% smitten but also 100% in denial, knowing they won't last because there's the 10% of incompatibility. it's all percentages you see! ye...( read more)

July 7, 2007This is a nice romantic movie for all the Robert Redford & and Barbra Striesand fans.

October 21, 2009Glossy romantic drama, it's a bit corny, but the outstanding production overshadows the films flaws. Barbra Streisand is excellent, her chemistry with Robert Redford makes the film work. A good story, a classic romance and it has an outstanding theme song to boot.

December 28, 2008The lady-in-love was a strong, dominant character in the relationship. The playboy character of Robert Redford transcends time, but in reality, he would have been the one looking haphazardly to change the world. In going with the story line, the character of Barbra Streisand would probably have wanted to move to a kibbutz in the re-emerging state of Israel, rather than to Paris.
The couple had a chance to say, our love is strong enough that no issue is worth giving up a lifetime of happiness. The characters miss out on what could have been theirs for the taking---true love. Content and complacent, resigned to their roles in life, when they are older, they can only look back on a love that was The Way They Were.
Not many people get a second-chance at a first-love. But would it have been out-of-place, especially with the characters which made up that couple?--a story in which the main characters recognize that true-love is for always.
