No, I haven't seen it yet, but then I haven't seen anything recent in a while.
My question is, do you think it would have been as popular and well-promoted (and award-nominated) if it had starred two relatively unknown male leads? It seems that much of the press it received early on, had to do with the fact that two "name" actors were taking a risk by playing such roles.
I've heard reviews stating what a wonderful love story it is, and I've heard it called incredibly boring and nothing special. I guess I'm wondering how much the curiosity factor entered into its popularity.
I guess I'll find out for myself when it makes it to dvd, but in the meantime, what do you think?
