Favorite Quote:
"...and hey, I met you. You are not cool." - Almost Famous
Elizabeth. "I got that far once."

Still, I did have the nagging feeling that the whole thing doesn't quite add up to more than the sum of its parts. The overarching romance between Jeremy and Elizabeth would feel more genuine if I actually ever bought Jude Law as a sad-sack who couldn't get any girl he wanted. The guy's very sweet, and a good actor, but is miscast here. Then again, in dreams, nothing ever quite adds up, either.

Movie Grade: B

Synopsis:

"My Blueberry Nights" is the new film from one of the world's most sought-after directors, Wong Kar Wai. It's a magnificent love story starring multi-Grammy award winner Norah Jones in her movie debut along with a "A-list" cast of Academy Award winners and nominees including Jude Law, David Strathairn, Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman.

Norah Jones plays a sensual, alluring young woman who sets out on an unforgettable journey of discovery in pursuit of true love. In heartbreakingly beautiful locations and classic Route 66 atmospheric diners, Wong Kar Wai's captivating heroine encounters a series of enigmatic characters that help her on her quest.

Set against New York's magical cityscape and the stunning vistas of America's legendary Route 66, the celebrated director's first English language picture embraces his signature elegance and originality that made "Happy Together," "In the Mood for Love" and "2046" must-see movies all around the world.

Wong Kar Wai's unique talent and dreamy romantic themes, combined with mythical Americans locations and an awesomely gifted and stylish cast, guarantee that "My Blueberry Nights" will delight and enchant moviegoers everywhere.
