Three Days (2001)

Very best movie i ever watch

An Exercise In Nonsense

A Brilliant Conflict

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I love this film. I saw it at Christmas in 2004 on T.V. in England. My mum had just died 3 months before so i was very sad and grieving still.It was an emotional film but has an angel in it and a very good storyline.The timing of it was perfect for me and helped make me feel a little better. The acting is very good. It's the sort of film i wished they put on TV every Christmas.I recorded it as the review was good, so luckily i still have it on tape to watch. My 13 year old daughter likes it too. Hope you all enjoy it too.

I really enjoyed this movie even if I could predict the ending. Actually, the predictability really only occurs in the last 4 minutes or so, so they almost had me believing it would end like it should. Even still, it's a nice, cozy movie to watch with a cup of cocoa.The story is about Beth and Andrew, a Boston couple. Andrew is a superbusy literary agent, and Beth is a yoga instructor. Clearly, differences in personalities. They've been together for 20 years when they lived in the little town of Mahone Bay back as kids. Anyway, as the story goes, Andrew is late for their tradition of picking a Christmas tree. He also drops on Beth that he has to fly to Chi on business on Christmas Eve. She's upset, but she knows that there's nothing she can say or do to change his mind. Now, what Andy doesn't tell her is that his colleague, Kimberly, is going along for the trip. Beth finds out when she calls his hotel and Kimberly answers the phone. Andy has a change of heart, and returns home to be with his wife...Beth is justifiably angry, and leaves the house. Andrew follows after her and witnesses her get hit by a car. At the hospital, the doctor gives grave news. Andrew returns home, and finds his key doesn't work. This leads him to the "locksmith" shop across the street. Here he meets Lionel (Tim Meadows) who after a conversation, grants him 3 more days (aka the last three days) with Beth in order to redo his damage. Beth is still scheduled to die on Christmas Eve, but Andrew is given a chance to prove to her that he loves her.So this is the set up. They spend the next 3 days visiting their hometown and reconnecting with their past. The typical overheard conversation occurs and that sends Beth back to Boston by herself (it's the Kimberly thing, only in a different setup). So Andrew, knowing his time w/her is running out,struggles w/how to prove it to her. Beth gives him some good news that she's been holding on to, but it doesn't change her destiny. The angel won't give him more time, but asks him if he would do anything to keep Beth from dying.You can probably predict what happens next. The beginning of the movie is basically reversed, right up until the last 4 minutes. Like I said, it's really predictable, but that doesn't ruin the enjoyment.

This movie is truly excellent! Every year my daughter and I watch this movie on Christmas Eve on ABC family, but for the last two years or so they have not played it.My daughter is really upset since it was a tradition we made when she was very little. So if any body could tell me where i can get this movie please let me know. If you are looking for a movie to snuggle up with your girlfriend,wife,daughter or son this is very much so the movie to do that with. It tells of the story about a man and his wife, and how he takes advantage of her love. It sends a very good message out to all ages. I would highly recommend Three Days to anybody wanting to know about a good, warm and comforting movie to watch on a Saturday night.

I've just seen this film after flicking through the channels and it was about as subtle as a sledgehammer. In the first twenty minutes it became obvious as soon as Kristin Davis' character found the dog Lulu that she was going to get hit by a car.Even though I was aware it wasn't going to be the most intelligent film I've seen it did start showing potential when Diamond's character met Lionel. Unfortunately this opportunity to do something vaguely interested was blown away as soon as he freely admitted to being an angel.What followed was your usual Movie Land Christmas Sentimental fare. Snow ball fights, Christmas trees etc. As the film got closer to its end I found myself hoping that it would be allowed to finish with a little mystery or even perhaps an unconventional happy ending but that turned out to be wishful thinking. It soon became obvious that he would have to give up his own life which he did. Unfortunately though, the film makers pushed a little too hard for a happy ending which left us with the last minute, the most unbearable, saccharine filled conclusion I've seen in a while.In general the cast is below par. As another reviewer pointed out, Diamond's character is almost moronic at points and I still resent Lionel being so open about who he was so some of his rather poor jokes only compounded my dislike of him, Davis though gets to stand out with her acting.Overall it's no where near being great but it's a nice little movie to watch on a quiet winters afternoon, just make sure you switch it off once Reed Diamond has died.
