Briiliant & funny performance!, 25 August 2007
Author: Rosemary (zelda1964) from Long Island, New York

Bruce Willis is great,as a top notch action star.In this romantic slapstick,Walter is a businessman who loses face and all honor.He meets up with Nadia(marvelously played by (Basinger) who is knee-slapping hysterical. There is one disaster after another, when they go on a date and she gets totally drunk and wild. The hits keep coming, as Nadia is frantically romanced by an old boy friend (John Larroquette). When these three characters come together this side-splitting comedy makes you laugh at Love and how funny people try to win at this game. I enjoyed this Romance that is surely "made in Heaven". Love comes at a price, as this great film proves.
