I went to see this chick flick because I was in popcorn withdrawal and that’s what was playing when I walked in the cinema. It is a classic “boy meets girl, girl chases boy until he catches her” story. Nothing to write in a blog about save for one element. The female lead (Kisten Dunst) tells the guy (Orlando Bloom) that he absolutely MUST do a cross country road trip at least once in his life and the time is now!
As he is about to set out (alone) she hands him a box. In the box is a huge scrap book filled with maps, drawings, photos, notes and CDs to guide and accompany him through his journey. The CDs have both music and her voice guiding him. Talk about the ultimate gift! Scrapbooking is in, I know, but this is goes waaayyy beyond a craft, this is love in a box! THIS Is something I would love to do for someone someday!
