It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

You are obviously a Muslim man. Yes, she would still be married if she had married a Muslim, or she would be DEAD! She wouldn't be allowed to leave a bad relationship, even if she was being abused or degraded. Yeah, why would any woman want to live in a place where she had free will? It's a mystery! What woman wouldn't want to live in a country where they treated her worse than anything they could step in? Yeah, all the women I know are headed over to your place of oppression! Why don't you hold your breath for their arrival? Frankly, I'm sick of reading comments about the United States of America from Muslim men upset that their women would rather be here than with them. Grow up!

Although I had heard that this true story was made into a movie I did not see it. Several friends and I would like to see it and would be happy to purchase copies of the episodes that were televised or the complete movie.The story sounds heart warming and tragic. It is a shame that they did not stay together after all the troubles they had been through. I know of a similar story that occurred in the 1960s. Happily the couple are still together - 40+ years later.IF ANYONE CAN ASSIST. PLEASE DO REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.Thank you..

*Don't read if you haven't seen the movie. It tells the general overview of what occurred.*I absolutely loved this movie. Their romance was a true "Romeo and Juliet" tale that Shakespeare himself would've probably applauded. The hardships, the trials, and the faith they had in each other was amazing. The fact that they overcame each issue placed against them shows that love does, indeed, conquer many things. Here's a young woman, willing to give up her family and her old life to begin writing a new one with the man she fell in love with. And here's a man who's willing to risk anything and everything to keep her with him, even if it meant defying the Marines. The only sad thing to this fairy tale romance, however, is the fact that not all fairy tales last an eternity.

This is a pleasant movie - and some would opine it's worth more than a '6' - but it's too hasty in many ways.Both 'Zack' and Nichols are fantastic, and especially Nichols brings a great warmth to the screen and her relationship there with MPG. (Perchance she will credit this to Cruise and her other LRH schoolmates? What a shame. And her name sounds like a spray you use to fight athlete's foot.) And it's well written and all around well directed and acted.But it's all too hasty. The girl has hardly met her Marine and she's totally in love. Were that to happen to me, I'd run for it. Sorry, but you'd have to be some kind of totally hard up Marine or something to get swooped up by it. No, things like this take a little more time than a phone call or two and a walk around the city dump.And then there's the other matter: this movie is probably all washed up as far as further market potential as the famous couple who were plastered all through the media have now gone their separate ways. After five years of marriage they applied for a divorce in the same town where they were once married and where they continued to live afterwards.After death threats, after the FBI warned them a Syrian, 500,000 dollars richer, was coming to the Strip to assassinate Meriam, after Jason tired of eking out an existence as a valet parker while Meriam disappeared night after night into the neon, Jason accepted Meriam's request for divorce and revealed that she'd been 'off the deep end' already for a year.The real life couple are cute but are they as cute as the on screen couple? N-o-t q-u-i- t-e.It could have been better - if time had been given to more character development. But these are made for television movies and they must play by their own rules. And it could have been an immense commercial success - more so than now - if only the couple had 'lived happily ever after'.It's not nice to second guess people or tell them to chill out - for people should always follow their hearts without question - but a bit more experience and savvy will never hurt either. Maybe the real life couple were too hasty?
