Freddie Prinze Jr. is Jack, a successful and wealthy young advertising executive. He lives in the City, drives a car, has a very nice place with his own garage on the street level. He periodically brings food and meets his working dad for lunch but Jack seems a bit preoccupied with himself.
One day Jack encounters cute and ditzy Taryn Manning as Jill, who is an actress new to the city, and with apparently no place to stay yet. So, in a seemingly uncharacteristic gesture, Jack invites Jill to stay at his place, in the guest bedroom, for a few days until she gets situated.
Predictably the arrangement eventually moves to more than a temporary stay. Jack and Jill enjoy a budding relationship and along the way establish their list of "rules." Number one is always be honest. This one causes trouble.
While this is not a ground-breaking story in any manner, it is an enjoyable movie with a sweet story. I found it better than many of the reviews might indicate.
SPOILERS: Jill is keeping a secret from Jack, she is ill with Cystic Fibrosis, something she was born with and will probably die from in her 30s or 40s. She doesn't tell Jack, and when she disappears for a day or two he wonders what is going on. When she finally tells him he is hurt for her violation of rule number one. But eventually he gets over it and learns to embrace this young woman instead of his confirmed bachelor lifestyle.
