If Only

the best romantic movie i've ever seen. films like these dont come everyday.

a man (paul nicholls) wakes up one morning after a bad dream in which his girlfriend (jennifer love hewitt) gets killed. but rather being relieved that it was a dream, he finds the situations during the day to be exactly the same as in the dream. fearing that his girlfriend will eventually die at the end of the day, he tries to make this day (the only day he has with his love) the best day in their life.

the scene at the end where paul gifts jennifer a bracelet (custom-made) which has all the unique features of her is mind blowing. you cant stop tears flowing out of your eyes.

performance - wise, paul and jennifer are excellent. paul portrays his fear, anxiety, acceptance & love whereas jennifer's expressions are very normal and natural as she does not know that she is going to die.

at the end, paul dies by shielding jennifer from a car accident. she realizes in the hospital how paul was trying to let her know how much he loved her.

a once in a lifetime movie for die-hard romantics.
