User Reviews
Average user review:I like the movie because Liv Tyler and Joaquin appear to be such innocent teenage lovers in the film. Billy's character seems not to be satisfied with everything surrounding him. It seems the fate is not fair to him and he envies everything the rich Abbots possess. Besides, I also like the loving mom of the two brothers very much. She is so virtuous and patient with them. Overall it is a very interesting story. March 11, 2007
Inventing The Abbotts
Some parts of the movie drags and some of the lines are a bit verbose but overall enjoyable. H Sewell February 19, 2007
Real life
I bought this because of Liv Tyler and Jennifer Connelly, and ended up liking the movie more than I thought I would. February 7, 2007
Love Jennifer Connelly!
About the best thing about this movie is the gorgeous Ms. Connelly. Her scene where she teases Joaquim Phoenix with her upskirt panty shots in the high school library is the highlight of the whole movie. Her topless scene right before that is good too. Pound that pause button! January 26, 2007
Great movie!!
This was one of the best romance movies I have ever seen. It isn't the typical type of love story. It is very different and has great actors. It can make you laugh and cry. It's starts out with two families that don't like each other much because of things that happened in the past...or what they thought happened in the past. December 13, 2006
