I will not explain the movie plot or comment about how exquisite the acting was, just one look at all the users' comments and all I could say has already been said.

But after a second viewing of this movie (only 1 month later from the first) I'd like to say that yes, the work of the 3 lead actors are good beyond definition, I was still engaged in the movie from beginning till end even though I already knew the story, and all three deserve the acting Oscar for this year.

Sean's work was every bit as good as his work in Mystic River, but I guess he got the nomination for the latter only because it's a more standing out role. In 21 grams, his role is more subdued, but he played it so well it made Naomi's acting stand out more.

Benicio's acting was so moving, my heart just ached for his character and his limitations.I'd be very happy if he wins another Oscar (Tim Robbins was excellent in Mystic River too, frankly it's hard to tell who's better but I'm so partial to Benicio, he is just a joy to watch).

This was much better than what I expected.Since it had such poor reviews,I rented the video only to watch my new favorite actor, Benicio Del Toro .I was actually pleasantly surprised at how good he was in a romantic comedy.He should do these more often! He has proved himself in serious roles already, but I think he can be a very refreshing lead in romantic roles. Haven't we seen enough Hugh Grant movies yet? I wont' go into details about the plot,which had an interesting start but looked like it wasn't sure where it was headed at the end.Then again, a movie starring Alicia Silverstone can't be expected to be so plot-conscious...If you're a fan of Benicio, you'll enjoy his unique debonaire charm in this movie.For once, he doesn't look that intense or sad, and we can really feel the tenderness behind his half-smile...I might not be such an objective viewer, but this movie is such a nice distraction from the Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock romantic comedies...
