Editorial Review:
A lot can happen on the road to happily ever after...
James Franco and Sienna Miller star in a romantic comedy about a marriage that truly is forever!
Theirs was the wedding nobody wanted to see… Camille (Miller), the sweetest girl in all of Kentucky, just married the only man she's ever loved, Silas (Franco), a bad boy with a sordid past. When the two set off on the bride’s fantasy honeymoon, events take a sudden, unexpected turn... It’s a long, winding road to Niagara Falls, and Camille is determined to let nothing – not even her own mortality – stand in her way of their happiness.
This hilariously endearing, honeymoon-gone-awry road movie also stars the immortal David Carradine as a mystical roving show horseman, Scott Glenn as Camille’s soft-hearted uncle and Ed Lauter as a tough, by-the-book lawman who will stop at nothing to bring Silas in.
Camille [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Different & Quirky but amazingly heartwarming! 
2009-12-16 - At the beginning of this movie, I didn't know what to expect, but by the ending I was fighting back the tears. I know, it's a crazy plot, and even quite silly, but I think a lot of people miss the pure intent of the film. It's not realistic, but hey, it's probably the most touching movie I've seen. I loved Sienna Miller in her role as Camille, and frankly, I loved the ending also. Actually, this was, in my opinion, the ONLY way it should have ended. Enjoy the movie for what it is - a really feel-good, heartwarming story - silly though it may be. Loved it!
I expected much more from this movie 
2009-09-26 - With a cast including Sienna Miller, James Franco and David Carradine I guess I wanted a lot more from this movie. Also I thought they could have explored what happens to someone when they die and are in essence a zombie (well kinda). The best word I've seen describing this movie is "cute." It's a very cute movie involving someone dying and becoming the undead. If it was on TV I'd say watch it, I would suggest you buy it. If you're looking for a cool, cute and funny zombie movies check out a movie like Dance of the Dead

The Thelma and Louise ending with the blue horse jumping into Niagra Falls - give me a break. I think the writer didn't know how to end the movie. I found it annoying and thought was just dumb. Teenage girls may have liked that ending, but it stunk on ice.
an unexpected pleasure 
2009-09-24 - I didn't know what to think with this movie, but in the end I absolutely loved it. It's a quirky story-line, and I can understand why some people don't get it, or don't like it, but there are so many good things about it. The actors are great, the story is original, and I thought the direction was done very well. It made me cry, and it made me want to watch it again, both signs of a good movie to me!!
boring 
2009-09-23 - the only reasom why i would watch this movie is bcause i hate reality tv...
A weak film with potential 
2009-09-23 - This movie wasn't what I was expecting, in both good and bad ways. With James Franco, Sienna Miller, and David Carradine, this isn't an all-star cast, but it's also a pretty decent one. The film has at times a corny mid-Western, genuine Americana flavor (cowboy showmen, small-town sheriffs, etc.), which makes its low-budget appearance tolerable. You can't take the film too seriously, which means you can actually enjoy it for what it's worth.
I thought the plot was emotional and actually made me stop to think how much I should appreciate those I love. Near the beginning of the film, Franco and Miller's characters get married, but the marriage seems destined to be an unhappy one. However, soon afterward, they get into an accident and Miller (Camille) dies. Well, kind of. Her ghost lingers on because she was not prepared to die. The rest of the film is about the couple finally learning to appreciate each other and find the happiness that had eluded them for so long. In a real sense, the "ghost" plot device is a metaphor for something like a terminal disease in real life, when we know a loved one will die soon. Camille touchingly shows us to live that small window of life to the fullest.
Now, the bad. Like many other films involving supernatural plot twists and ghosts (I'm thinking The Sixth Sense), Camille sometimes lacks internal consistency. For example, soon after the dead Camille breaks a finger merely from pulling her hand away from her husband's, she manages to slap him in the face. This certainly doesn't help sell an already implausible concept - namely that Camille is dead, but can interact with everybody normally. If you can forgive such problems and make the intellectual leap into believing the story for the sake of watching the movie, it's not too bad.
