Phoebe Halls The soundtrack was what totally melted me on this one. The soundtrack was what carried the entire movie and chemistry. Add to that the special reference to the local legend of the church in San Antonio Texas. Joanna Going is beautiful. She reminded me so much of Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty on the early years of Charmed (tv series). I just wished the movie used the long hair she had in the poster. But most important of all was Brendan Fraser's face and biceps. Nobody else could have pulled off Fletcher's character more than Brendan ever could. I'm glad this movie was done during Brendan Fraser's heyday! Viva La 90s! Some critics (or cynics I may say)complained about the lack of chemistry between the two actors. But the doubting and quietly brooding beauty of Roz and the nerdy pseudo macho charm of Fletcher (and the way they kiss) was just quite the opposite. It was perfect. The ending with the piano sound background felt like it was in a dream and I didn't want it to end. I loved it. Though it was underrated, it was actually a good romantic movie.

editor-306 Combining eccentricity with serendipity, Still Breathing is still, almost ten years after it was first released, one of the best fate-filled and wistfully magical love stories of all time. Take one somewhat unusual street performer who is mystically drawn towards his soul mate - a hardened con artist miles away, and then back their journey towards, away and towards one another with a gorgeous soundtrack that moves effortlessly from Chopin to Carly Simon, and you've got one very touching if not markedly unique story. Fraser is great as the slightly odd lovestruck suitor as is Going, who clearly portrays her struggle with losing the grip on her tough anti-emotion veneer as it starts to crumble under Fraser's enticing conviction. The lovely locale of San Antonio, TX also adds to the charm of this special film that will leave you wondering if one soul is truly destined to be, exclusively, with another.

lassofrivendell Still Breathing is a cute, feel good movie for all romantics out there. It is quorky, and even in its simplisitic thinking, it is truly a 'deep movie'. Brendan Fraser is terrific as Fletcher, and Joanna Going is splendid as Roz. However, many people might look down at this movie because it is rather, well, fictional. Many believe that true love is implausible, but this movie teaches that whatever the scenario, true love is completely realistic. I enjoyed this movie very much and hope that, without becoming repetitive, there will be more like it.

artzau This little film makes a simple statement about the much touted "family values" that Conservatives love to invoke. In many respects, this should be a silly comedy based on fantasy and wispy romantic premises: con girl meets honest guy is overwhelmed by simple honesty and gives up her predatory life style. However, what makes it work are solid performances by Fraser and Going. Fraser has developed a real flair for comedy in his career. Too, Going has a delicate beauty and solid talent, which she showed off to great display in the TV miniseries NetForce in contrast to Scott Bakula's hamboning. All in all, this simple romantic fantasy works and is very enjoyable.
