According to common usage, the French word stupide comes closer to silly than to dumb, which is how I might rationalize my affection for this harebrained, obvious, but euphoric tale.

You'll either like this soaringly daft confection, even as it aggravates you with its self-absorption, or you won't. I did.

The movie is overcrowded with ideas, any one of which might have made a fun premise. Put them all together and the result is just plain silly.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

A beautifully crafted meditation on memory, fate, coincidence and yearning.
