There's a depth and caring to Still Breathing that you don't find in the usual major studio fare.

Another fine attempt at breaking the mold of romantic comedy ... but lacking, oddly, the comedy.

If you're in the mood for a pleasant little romantic comedy, Still Breathing hits all the right notes. Cynicism need not apply.

The film's success ultimately rests on the couple -- and not once in this film, aside from a lot of wispy talk about fate and dreams, did I see any reason why these two opposites would be drawn to each other.

A story that places no constraints on happy coincidences, as this one, always teeters on the brink of corniness.

This is a story that has been told many times before, but generally with more energy than this.

A gooey, swooning swatch of romantic hyperventilation, its queasy charms. And let it be said that surrendering to those charms could be as guilt-inducing as polishing off a pint of Haagen-Dazs chocolate ice cream before lunch.
