Really Cute Feel Good Movie, 27 January 2002
10/10
Author: Intenselan from Roseville, MN

Maybe this movie is not an epic, but it doesn't try to be something it's not. What it DOES have is an incredible chemistry between Jami Gertz and Steve Guttenberg.

Of course this love story has been done so many times before, but this movie did it right.

4 out of 5 stars.
