I, for one, love Head Over Heels more than the newer release of CSOW. I loved the choices the director made with camera angles in telling the story - halting to allow the protagonist to talk directly to the camera. It was a brilliant and witty film, and Heard was so good I actually felt his pain of pining away over a lost love. There were so many memorable characters in addition to Charles' mom: the stepfather; the office worker, Betty; the boss; the roommate; the sister and her fiancé; Laura's ex-husband.
I loved this movie, and I would love to get a copy of the original Head Over Heels version. I liked the original ending much better.
Why this movie didn't win a plethora of awards is beyond me.
Valerie.
