this is in my top ten films of the 90s and is generally a go to for me anytime I just want to see something enjoyable. What I really like about it, is how it is a romantic comedy, without all of the trappings of the genre. It's just two people walking, talking, and getting to know each other over a 16-18 hr period of time

What is also interesting is their outlook on life. Both Jesse and Celine are very wide eyed and think that a lot of great stuff is going to happen to them. maybe it will, but its also refreshing to see these people really capture the positive mood of the mid 90s when most of the western world was in a big economic boom. We also see that both of the characters are much more learned then one would give credit to a 23 year old, and its also kind of sad to see how most mid 20 somethings today crave to be a reality TV celeb compared to how both Celine and Jesse just want something more meaningful with life
