Quotes:
Lisa Cramer: You want some advice? You never call him. But if he calls you you talk to him, then act like you have another call, keep him on hold for a long time. Like longer than you think is passable. And break dates. Always break dates. Right around the holidays cus then he's just stuck. And fellatio, the sooner the better. And allot. Act like you love it. After he's aditcted, cut him off. That's when you got him.
Mirabelle: Ya, I couldn't do all that.
Lisa Cramer: How come?
Mirabelle: I'm from Vermont.

Characters that you don't really care about do very little, 25 December 2006
4/10
Author: Alex Sadler from Hong Kong

After reading a review by someone comparing this movie to 'Lost in Translation' and at the time of watching the score for this movie was a healthy 6.8, I decided to rent the movie from the local DVD shop. 'Lost in Trnslation' this movie is not. From the over poetic way Steve Martin reads the brief narrative although he plays a conflicting character in the movie, to the lead role who it is rather difficult to empathise with due to her relationship choices. Nothing much actually happens in this movie. In 'Lost in Translation' nothing really happens in a stylish and interesting way. There is extremely little humour and the relationships that develop between the characters you pretty much feel are their own fault. If you are looking for a Romantic comedy to share a quiet Sunday afternoon with your partner then choose from a wealth of others. A score of 6.8 this movie does not deserve.
