Summary: Interesting, but overdone romantic melodrama.
Review: I thought, out of fairness, at least one person of the male gender should review this blatant 'chick' flick. This movie was obviously slanted toward the female gender, but I have to admit that I did actually enjoyed this film, at least, most of it. Why? To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure. Keanu Reeves is certainly on my list of least favorite actors (I use the word 'actor' with great reservation here), and the ending of this film was so overblown and melodramatic that I sat shaking my head in embarrassment.

Maybe I ended up liking it because of its nastalgia and innocense. I could readily see this as a 1940's Jimmy Stewart vehicle (Lord knows, it would have been better, but Reeves work here wasn't too bad). The setting is Napa Valley in 1945, and the boys are coming home after the war. This is a boy meets girl film, and most of it works pretty well. However, the butterfly scene in the vineyards is just one of many outrageous contrivances (along with the grape stamping scene). Even though I had to grit my teeth a few times, I came away with a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling...so I guess that says something. Between 1 and 10, "A Walk in the Clouds" gets a 6 from me. If the ending wasn't so stupidly melodramatic, I would have added another star. I've certainly seen worse 'chick' flicks -- see "A Thousand Acres" as an example;-(.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Family is important and respected.
Review: Absolutely wonderful movie. Liked the country side. My husband & I have put in a patio with brick walk ways and flowering plants, trees, orange, lemon, mango trees, and water garden etc. We eat out under the orange tree and call it "A Walk in the Clouds" I think of this tender movie so often when we are in our garden. It gives me the same peace the movie did. Anthony Quinn was perfect. Rosemary (second generation Italian)

Summary: It was the BEST!
Review: I fell in love with movie the first time I saw it. I now own it and watch it everytime I feel low and want to feel good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A truly enjoyable film!!!
Review: I can't believe Hollywood actually made a film with a moral message, but here it is! And what a wonderful story! Well-worth seeing, again & again! Very romantic, with beautiful scenery, and very likeable characters (except for the two guys on the bus --- I didn't like them very much!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful film. I've seen it a million times!!!!
Review: I love this movie!! I just recently brought it to a sort of girl's night out party, and we all cried till dawn. This is one of Keanu Reeves's best movies! If only men could be as nice as Paul Sutton in real life!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wholesome, romantic, beautiful - A MUST SEE!!
Review: This movie was truly a labor of love. Very romantic, wholesome. Reflects a family at odds with tradition and modernism. Keanu portrayed a character whose actions we admire. Great job, sweetie!! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: O.K.
Review: A VERY GOOD MOVI

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent movie with good family values.
Review: This is an excellent movie that families should watch together. You won't have to worry about the language, and Reeves would be an excellent role model for all males today. He is sensitive, caring and has genuine moral values that we should emulate today. This movie amazed me, because I'd never heard of it before. A friend loaned us her copy. You really should treat yourself and rent, or buy this movie today.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderous, beautiful film to watch time and time again!
Review: I loved this movie. It's a film you can take a friend to see and not be embarrassed because of language etc.. Yes it is a bit of a fable but I'll buy it. Keanu gives his best performance. Beautiful, romantic and happy. Isn't that what movies are supposed to be and make one feel?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful, touching, A MUST SEE!!!
Review: As a resident of the Napa Valley, I am absolutely pleased with the depiction of our beautiful valley. The film is one of the best performances of Reeves career( with the exception of Speed). As a lover of romantic and corny films, I give this movie my seal of approval. You'll want to see it again and again!!!
