It's odd I
suppose, that this is another Alex and Kate. But there it
is. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Let me make it clear up front that I
am not among the Keandra set, no no. I do not see Keanu and Sandy as a couple,
I don't wish they were a couple, I'm not even advocating that they should do
more films together, although given the right vehicle that could be fun. No,
this is about Alex and Kate. And Annie and Jack. Ok, so this is two couples
in one. Four different people though, without doubt. Kate and Annie might
have been acquaintances but probably not close friends. And Jack and Alex..
Jack is concrete, Alex is abstract, the two couldn't be farther apart if they
were trying. But opposites often attract - and balance each other
out.Annie's borderline flakiness needed Jack's
solid presence. Kate's
hesitant self confidence as a woman needed Alex's bolstering
enthusiasm. The
two couples work for me, and apparently many others :) Annie and Jack
overcame the bus and the bomber, Alex and Kate overcame time.
Relationships
can be difficult under the best of circumstances, these people clearly
were
meant to be together! Put
these two together again and
sure, I'll watch 'em, but if not, that's alright too.
Annie, Jack, Alex and Kate will
stand the test of time alone.
