Watch It Had to Be You For Free

I love this movie so much

I wanted to but couldn't!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It Had To Be You stars Natasha Henstridge and Michael Vartan together with Michael Rispoli, Olivia d'Abo and Faith Prince.It was directed by Steven Feder.Former NYC policeman and aspiring author Charlie Hudson is about to marry into a wealthy family and is sent to a hotel near Central Park to spend the weekend without his bride-to-be finalizing plans for the big- deal wedding. He meets in the hotel elevator perky, trivia-obsessed Anna Penn, who is doing the same on the eve of her wedding. A few chance encounters later, the couple teams up to complete their chores and that's when Charlie realizes he's not in love with his career-driven future wife because he's in love with Anna. But is Anna in love with him? He's about to find out.This is a poorly made movie that is kept afloat by its lead stars and charisma despite the lack of chemistry they have and they are not believable as a couple.

***THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** an interesting movie about a coincidence that turns 2 persons plans upside down and tests their ability to make the right decision at the right moment. both Anna and Charlie meet each other while they were preparing to getting married to 2 other people, each of them realizes that he/she has found his/her soul mate. so, they have to make up their mind before it is too late.may be the idea is not new but the beauty of the movie is not in "what" it is tackling but "how" it has tackled its subject. this movie, to a great extent, succeeds in creating an amazing romantic atmosphere that fills you with hope that one day you may find Mr. right.Natasha (Anna) and Michael (Charlie) had good chemistry with each other and so did the supporting actor and actress playing their best friends. a true friend is a true advice and an ability to share one's moments of happiness and grief.

I just can't understand the negative comments about this film. Yes it is a typical boy-meets-girl romance but it is done with such flair and polish that the time just flies by. Henstridge (talk about winning the gene-pool lottery!) is as magnetic and alluring as ever (who says the golden age of cinema is dead?) and Vartan holds his own.There is simmering chemistry between the two leads; the film is most alive when they share a scene - lots! It is done so well that you find yourself willing them to get together...Ignore the negative comments - if you are feeling a bit blue, watch this flick, you will feel so much better. If you are already happy, then you will be euphoric.(PS: I am 33, Male, from the UK and a hopeless romantic still searching for his Princess...)

Anna is a teacher who is in the big city to register at a large department store for her approaching wedding. Charlie, a writer, is there for the same reason. Their partners, it seems, have very busy lives and have left it to Anna and Charlie to deal with the mundane tasks of their engagements. It happens that Anna and Charlie meet at the store and strike up a conversation. When they run into each other later at a restaurant, they decide to share a meal. It appears a friendship is blossoming. Throughout a week, they will meet several times. Is the "just friends" routine becoming something else? This is nice, dignified story about two adults who go down a road that each of them did not expect to travel on. Engaged to others, they share a mutual attraction but make it clear that promises to their partners are very important to them. This makes the demise uncertain. Henstridge and Vartan are very elegant and attractive people who convey their mixed-up feelings effortlessly. The costumes and sets are alluring, too. If you would like to try an adult love story with scruples and gentle humor, for a change, this one is quite lovely.
