Mostly overrated. But somehow I can't stop thinking about this movie since seeing it. It leaves a lasting impression.
Nothing much happens. There are no arcs, not much is spelled out for the viewer and there are barely any characters other than the 2 main cast. Lots of random cameos though.
This might be Nicolas Cage's best performance ever, but still... it's just more Nic Cage.
It might have something to do with Elizabeth's Shue then.
She's absolutely gorgeous in this movie and her screen presence might be up there with Julia Roberts's "Pretty Woman", Cameron Diaz's "Mask" or Elisha Cuthbert's "Girl Next Door" at a "can't-help-but-fall-in-love-with-the-screen" level.
"Sera" is a precursor of the later "manic pixie dreamgirl" trope: she's seemingly parachuted in from the land of dreams and is barely given any agency other than being the love interest of male protagonist and is on a mission to fulfill some sort of miserable drunk's fantasy.
The love between them doesn't make any sense. They barely know anything about each other.

But somehow, at some level, this feels very real.
