The drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25. 

Brilliant! Describes part of the life of the poet John Keats. I confess that when I watch the movie I didn't have any ideia of who was Keats. The movie was amazing, the poems, the romance and of course drama. I loved it!

CC's opinion:

Normally I love romance, hate comedy and just watch action when there isn't anything else.

If I were a director I would never try to put action, comedy and romance together, because I have to say that, normally, it never ends very good.

And when I say very good I mean a great movie that we should definitely watch.

Even tough it is not the worst movie I have ever seen, of course, for me it just doesn't work very well.

ST's opinion:
This time I can't agree with CC at all.
I guess comedy is necessary in the cinema industry. Can you imagine Hollywood without all those good comedians, such as Adam Sandler, Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston, Katherine Heighl or Ashton Kutcher? I can't. Okay, okay, I know comedy is way easier to do than drama or horror, I know, I know, but come on, we all need to laugh once in a while.
And any good comedy has to have romance and action. I've seen some that are so DRY that you'll get sick of it right away. But if you watched a couple comedies, you see all of them were pretty nice. And why? Because there's romance and comedy in it. That's the main ingredients for the comedy recipe.
About Ashton (Kutcher) and Katherine (Heighl), loved'em! They connected so well, and they made the movie even funnier. Ashton is #1 comedian for me and Katherine turned out to be a revelation. I barely knew her work. All I had seen was TV series like Rosewell and Grey's Anatomy and I truly liked those. 
Now I see she's doing some more comedies. We found here another comedian, and a good one.
