Clever romantic comedy.

I didn't have the intention to watch this movie even though I'm a fan of Mrs. Paltrow.So I watched this unintentionally on a cold Tuesday morning. specifically at 9:00. I didn't regret.The movie deals with a huge natural tragedy that nobody could prevent from happening, and many events will focus around it including a love story, parenting, alcoholism, rehab, difficult job decisions, etc."Bound" is overall a great romantic comedy with a dramatic plot center so in my opinion this is a very clever romantic film.The performances are very good. I'm surprised with Affleck's performance; he does it very well as the depressed but successful young man. His facial expressions when talking about Greg's death are really convincing and help the movie's tone.Gwyneth Paltrow is as beautiful as ever and delivers a tender performance. I dug her dramatic moments, specially when she had to explain her sons about their dad's demise.I highly recommend this intelligent movie for those who like romantic drams.

I'm tired of this routine

I did like this movie, but I must say I'm tired of the old "I've got a secret" device used in this movie. In this movie Buddy has a secret he knows will cause major problems for their relationship, yet he doesn't tell her. And just as everyone in the world predicts - she finds out just before he can tell her. I guess movie writers feel this formula is tried and true, but I'm hoping to see some original thinking someday and maybe something more true to life.
