Warning: Spoilers
Lance Valenteen (David Boreanaz) is "Mr. Fix It", a match-maker, but to resolve relationship issues and to make the woman realize their exes weren't as bad as they originally thought. And he credits this to his lack of abilities to love again; that's until he meets Bill Smith who enlists his help to win back his Italian girlfriend, Sophia. Lance's rules that in no way is he going to have sex with the clients ex... and there's a full refund if there's no reconciliation; but will he ignore his own rules when it comes to Sophia? Everything goes to plan; he pretends to be the worst boyfriend of all, has fun while doing it, and he's so confident about this case that he uses all the refund money to fix up his car in time for the care races; but that's all until a huge and betraying secret is revealed!

David Boreanaz is excellent with his portrayal of the lonely and childish Lance Valenteen and delivering the ever-so embarrassing jokes. He's also really good at being the jealous boyfriend, good -but at times late- friend, and the just mean boyfriend. And he works with his worst enemy: a live bird!

Alana is also great at being funny, loving and down-to-earth. But most of all, she's able to work along side David, keep up and be as equally entertaining.

This movie may be a bit cheesy and on the mushy romantic side -a great girls-night-in movie!- but it's a movie the guys can appreciate and relate to, as well. It's not at all like "Sleepless in Seattle", even though the girls may find the comparisons; romantic movie, comedic, boy gets girl, and tricky. But "Sleepless in Seattle" had Rosie O'Donnell, but this one has CARS and RACES! It's not everyday that you see a motor vehicle in a movie which plays a regular part in the movie. So, your girlfriends could say that it's a perfect movie for girls because it's romantic and girls go crazy for it, if your girlfriends say you'll enjoy it, trust her. There couldn't be anything better!

This is a MUST SEE movie!
