Storyline

This light-hearted romantic comedy centers tells of love sought, found, lost, and found again, revolving around the lives of two college students in New York City. Sophomore Al Connelly meets the girl of his dreams, freshman Imogen, and true love abounds. The two engage on a whirlwind courtship--they pick a song, eat a cake together, even make love. But Imogen's fear of lost youth causes her to push away from Al, and they go their separate ways. Al attempts to rebound from the relationship, determined to forget Imogen, and he goes to desperate measures to do so. The story is told from the points of view of both Al and Imogen.

User Reviews

Not bad, charming at times...

I must admit that I enjoy most of Freddy Prinze Jr.'s movies. I also am a fan of Julia stiles, so I decided to check this movie out one afternoon on TV. This movie has some of biggest young actors in Hollywood: (Prinze, Stiles, Blair actually isn't she around 40?, Kutcher) and was well-cast. I like the fact that the romance between Stiles and Prinze wasn't always perfect, and it shows what some guys will do when they lose their love. Prinze almost does for shampoo what Jason Biggs did for Apple Pie. The best part for me was when Prinze climbs through the Window to meet Julia who thought he had other plans that evening, while "Black Balloon" by the Goo-Goo Dolls plays in the background. I guess you could say this movie is predictable, but you could do a lot worse. 6/10
