MOVIE REVIEW
I am not a romantic, nor am I swayed easily by romantic films. The very thought of a pure romance film makes me gag, and the last one I watched, I slept through. Luckily, Phenomenon, while being a subtle love film, maintains a good sense of entertainment, and the romance isn't nauseating at all. It is an emotional film however... it makes happy, it makes you sad, it makes you amazed, and it makes you laugh, but most of all, it makes you feel. Full movie review »
