Info

Two lost souls: she a con-artist in L.A.; he a puppeteer in San Antonio have the same dream linking each with the other. He travels to L.A. to find this woman he has become obsessed with. She resists, afraid of his kooky ideas until she travels with him to San Antonio and meets his wise grandmother. Story of two disparate people linked by "fate" gets increasingly interesting as it rolls along.

Still Breathing Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
davidjanuzbrown This film has one of the best lines in Motion Picture history. It was spoken by Rosalyn (Roz) Willoughby (Joanna Going), in this film: Paraphrasing it a bit (I am a straight guy): "There are two things I always wanted to believe in but didn't dare. One is that there was one woman, somewhere, who was made just for me. The other is that I just might deserve her" This line sums up the picture and life in general perfectly. Roz is a very successful con artist who is on her way to a path of destruction (Either on her own, or by someone else) until she meets Fletcher McBracken (Brandan Fraser), who is her soul mate (He goes from San Antonio to LA, to try and save her (He has a gift passed down through generations which is through dreams, the ability to find their true love)). Can he break through her doubts and cynical nature and win her heart? The answer to that is obvious. Beyond that, this is NOT a "Chick flick", and it is a rarity (Which means she probably has never heard of this film (Let alone seen it)), and as a guy, you can sit through it without wanting to tear your hair out, so this would be a great Valentine's Day film to watch with your sweetie. One more thing: If she likes chocolate, do not forget the Godiva's for her while watching (Chocolate will pop up in the film, so spring them on her then). 10/10 stars.
fusionjazz1 I was channel surfing one Saturday afternoon in '05 and fell into the last half of this film. I was hooked! I called a store manager of Blockbuster to help me find this movie for purchase in all their stores back in '05 and she had one VHS left on the sales shelf. There are no more reprints of this for retail sale unfortunately. After watching the movie in its entirety, it was heartwarming. Truly a 'feel good' movie to cheer you up. This movie is beautifully done. The scenes and story line just flows wonderfully to blend into a great story line. Excellent direction from beginning to end. Finally, a movie with a great ending! Joanna Going and Brendan Fraiser are great together. It's one of my favorites. It touches the heartstrings. It may see like a chic-flick but guys would enjoy this too. The mystery and comedic aspects throughout make it lightheartedly touching to watch. The whole concept of how to find your true love has always been a mystery. This movie touches upon that. If only men do find their true love this way it would make a great reality-TV series. (LOL) The SOUNDTRACK is excellent. It's a shame they stopped printing this movie for retail sale. (http://stillbreathing.com/) They really should re-release this and sell more of the DVDs (at a reasonable price). It's too excellent of a movie to sit on a shelf or sell on the streets. Now and then cable movie channels air this but it's rare. If you get an opportunity to watch this movie, it is indeed, a true treasure of a film. I highly recommend it.
kirkham-1 If you are not a sensitive guy - don't bother. Otherwise, this film is a treat. You must see the film in its entirety or you will not get it. Super casting job - I do not know of any others who could have handled the parts so well. A true look beyond the superficial plastic sides of characters we usually see. A truly pleasing experience to watch. Brendan Frasier and Joanna Going have much more going for them then the typical fluff of Hollywood types and this movie displays their depth well. Celeste Holm is enchanting and the supporting cast add much color and flavor.
lassofrivendell Still Breathing is a cute, feel good movie for all romantics out there. It is quorky, and even in its simplisitic thinking, it is truly a 'deep movie'. Brendan Fraser is terrific as Fletcher, and Joanna Going is splendid as Roz. However, many people might look down at this movie because it is rather, well, fictional. Many believe that true love is implausible, but this movie teaches that whatever the scenario, true love is completely realistic. I enjoyed this movie very much and hope that, without becoming repetitive, there will be more like it.
