Better Late Then Never

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Not a movie that everyone will enjoy perhaps, the weird plot alone is bound to test the patience of many viewers looking to watch perhaps your standard rom-com (which this is not).Now mind you it is in a sense very much both a romance and comedy but it's also (perhaps even mostly) a fantasy film.I can't go into any details without starting to spoiling stuff (even though a lot of the plot is open for interpretation) but if you're looking for something different and unique then this might just do the trick.Has a bit of a rocky start though which makes you wonder where on earth this is going and occasionally the plot is a bit all over the place but if you give it some time and look aside some of the flaws then it should be worth your while.James Franco and Sienna Miller both deliver fine performances in the leads and David Carradine has a nice supporting role, the soundtrack is also really good and give it that extra push so you can get all the right feels.

I love this movie. It's not one of the greatest films but it's very surprisingly delightful. It has a surrealistic plot but it also had a lot of real human emotions in it. It's done in a very intriguing way that at times you would be wondering >> is this a comedy, a sad story, a fantasy or a suspense/horror???? Well, it's all of above and done with a smooth natural flow. {{{ Spoiler Alert }}} .... All actors did an amazing job in it, especially the 2 leads. James Franco, once again, is just a terrific terrific actor as a small time criminal who is extremely moody and cruel to her new wife. Sienna Miller also pulled off playing this role as a bubbly chatterbox with unconditional love for her newlywed husband who treats her like she was a nuisance. Franco displayed great acting skill as a stone-cold bad boy and slowly becoming a caring lover only it was too late. { A good lesson here: we must appreciate and cherish what we have when we still have them, for all can be gone the next hour! } He played the role with great control, especially at the ending when he became a caring man. He did it with great contrast but without any overacting.

This film follows Silas (James Franco) and Camille (Sienna Miller), two newlyweds traveling to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. Camille's enthusiasm is contagious as she squeals over how much fun Tiger (her respective nickname for Silas) and her are going to have. Silas, however, has a different plan in mind. Unbeknownst to darling Camille, instead of bathing suits and disposable cameras, his suitcase contains the key to his new life. Forged Canadian papers. A bit of a problem arises for Silas when they get into a car accident. Silas wakes up, confused, and staggers about searching for Camille. He finds her soon after, with cold skin and no pulse. The normal conclusion is, well, she's dead. Imagine his surprise when a moment later she is up and scampering about, as chatty as ever.James Franco plays his role fantastically, capturing the complexity of our ass-hat turned hero, Silas. Level with me here. At the beginning of this movie, I despised Silas. I was gritting my teeth and clenching my fists every time he made some snarky comment to his grinning, well-meaning bride. But towards the end, I found him to be deeply moving and incredibly sweet. The scene where he cleans her up and vows to get her to Niagara Falls brought me to tears. Perhaps that's just 'casue I'm a big, blubbering baby when it comes to things like this. I'm comfortable saying that Camille was a shining beacon in a dark tunnel. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating here a bit, but I can't help it. I absolutely adored her. While my sister found her irritating, I didn't think so at all. I just found her innocent, naive, charming, kind, sweet, genuine, sincere, wonderful.. okay, I'll cut it out with all of the adjectives, but you catch my drift. The film, as a whole, while at times predictable and certainly no Best Picture, was short, sweet, and heart-warming. Silas's redemption, as well as his love and dedication to Camille, will have you grinning and the ending will leave you feeling like the world doesn't suck quite so much. I'll admit it. I am infatuated with this film.

What do you do with an overbearing bride on her wedding night? You kill her, of course. Problem is: she won't die. Problems, problems and more problems when the groom starts to fall in love with …a corpse? Solution: maintain calm and continue on your honeymoon to Niagara Falls with your new wife who has a knack of coming back to life at, of course, inopportune moments.Camille is an enchanting exercise into fantasy. Mr. Franco scores a near-perfect performance as the new and most hesitant groom. The title character is portrayed by Sienna Miller. Ms. Miller's transformation from grueling, controlling, uber-bride bitch to loving, yet fragile (and dead) woman is superb. Her translation and interpretation of Camille is easy and fun to witness.It's always a simple pleasure to find a little gem like Camille.
