I totally hear you sister. For some reason, there is a little piece of this movie in my heart and there always will be.

I love it, for all the reasons you mentioned.

This was my all time favourite Reese Witherspoon film until I saw her in Just Like Heaven, so now I am split as both bring out the best in her and she looks stunning in both....

I think there are aspects of this movie that are as beautiful and profound as anything I've ever seen in a movie. At the same time, I think it could have been much better made. i'm listening to the director commentary, and he ... well ... he doesn't sound like Sergei Eisenstein.

YES! I always thought of it as a guilty pleasure, just because it's a rom-com and I know it's not getting a Criterion release and it doesn't have any accolades, BUT it's such a sweet little movie. I even randomly just think about it from time to time, like now (I can't remember when was the last time I saw it), which goes to say how much it has touched me.
