Great bunch of movies for the price
I've got a very eclectic taste, and buy quite a few multi-packs.
It's rare for a multipack to have four very good films, maybe not blockbuster status, but good. That's a fair description here.
If you like romance or romantic comedy there's not one of these that will dissappoint.
Without giving too much away I'd place them as follows:
Message in a bottle was the best of the bunch, a personal opinion only, as it involved both detective work and sailing, it rated as close to 5 stars as can be given. Costner's performance was the only bit that left just a fraction to be desired. It has a somewhat surreal subplot/message that nothing we ever do is gone for good, that life finds it's way to completing the circle.
Night's in Rodanthe and a Walk to Remember are both great for a rainy afternoon or stormy evening. Sofa, ice-cream, brownies and turn off the phone. 4 stars and 3 stars respectively, but only just 4 and should perhaps be more...
Four great chic flix all together!
Grab a box of tissues, and settle in to cry. Fried Green Tomatoes ain't got nothing on these four movies. Nicholas Sparks writes so believable. James Garner and Gena Rowlands are so sweet together, Richard Gere and Diane Lane make sparks together. And oh my, Kevin Costner makes you wish you were in his arms instead of Robin Wright Penn. These are the kind of movies you think about and remember for days after watching them. Buy them, you won't regret it.
What a great deal!
I was interested in two of the four before I found this set, but was happy to have come across it because it was such a great price to include four great movies. One thing worth mentioning (the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that all four discs come stacked together in one case: they don't each have their own 'page' whether hard plastic snap-in or cloth-type insert which would, of course, better protect each disc, so it might not be a good idea for those who are rough on their things or have kids who aren't careful. But this does save space from having four separate DVDs on my shelf and is such a bargain that it hardly matters!
