I owned the VHS version of this film and am an Richard Gere fan and lover of romantic films. I am in the process of buying all my favorite films which I own on VHS to DVD now which is why I bought this DVD. A guilty pleasure for sure. I think Winona Ryder's voice is very annoying in this film. Her character at times is down right obnoxious. Still I enjoyed this love story. There are no extras on this DVD like a director's commentary or interviews. I think Director Joan Chen was embarassed by the film critic's bad reviews of her film when this came out in theatrical release so she decided not to do a director's commentary. I think this was/ is a mistake. The film is beautifully shot and has a European/Asian look to the film that I find very appealing. I would have loved to know more about the details ( back story of this film). If you like Richard Gere, good cinematography and New York City, you will like this film. By the way, this is really a fairytale. Anyone who has been involved with a womanizer ( the character Richard Gere plays) knows, they never change.Read full review
A May-December romance. He's 48, on the cover of New York magazine, an upscale restaurateur, and a womanizer who rejects ideas of love. She's 22, living with her grandmother, artistic, facing a tumor that's life-threatening, which she tells him about the morning after their first night, when he tells her not to expect permanence from him. Will finds Charlotte unprecedented and unpredictable, and experiences feelings of love, but she packs him off when he's casually unfaithful. He's stung, and he's also flummoxed by the appearance of a young woman from his past. Can he convince Charlotte to take him back, and can he help her through her illness and change his irresponsible ways? I enjoyed this movie sooooooooo Muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....And Richard Gere and Winona Ryder were great they need to make more movies together..... {Mrs. Puman}Read full review
I was under the impression I was purchasing an original move. Movie I received has several "shaky" parts in it and parts of the movie were stopping, going, stopping, and going. NOT a good copy.

A very beautiful love story that does not have a happy ending. Richard Gere and Winona Ryder have great chemistry. This is the best movie I have seen in decades. Funny, Romantic, very sad, happy and all together great movie. I highly recommend.
