Movie Musings: Fetching Cody (2005)

This is a first for me and it may be a last, who knows. I really enjoyed this movie and I wanted to share my thoughts about it with you.

I just watched Fetching Cody, sort of out of laziness but mostly because it grabbed my curiosity by just being there.

I had just finished watching a different movie and busied myself tooling around on the internet when Fetching Cody started up. It was low key and quiet but something drew me into watching it. A couple of times, in the beginning, I thought about changing the channel. Then Cody overdosed and Art got desperate and I was hooked.

Fetching Cody is not a romantic comedy but it has humor and it is about love. Bittersweet love. It's about feeling really, really deep down in your toes love. It's about real life. It's about the “what if” questions we all ask ourselves when looking back. It's about traveling back in time and “fixing” what went wrong. It's about fate.

It's my kind of entertaining escapism.
