Goofs:

Errors in geography: The scene when Carter is talking to Sarah one last time, there are fallen fall leaves blowing around. However, as the camera pans around the landscape, all of the trees and bushes are shown to be green and show no signs of the season being fall.

Quotes:

Gabe Foley:You think you can step into my 'hood, slinging game at my girl, drinkin' my boy's brew, and expect not to be scrappin' directly?
Carter Webb:What?
Gabe Foley:Are you deaf and stupid? I said...
Carter Webb:- Don't repeat all that. Please. I think the answer to your question depends on whether you have, like, a learning disability, or you're just an average moron.
Carter Webb:[after Gabe punches Carter] OK, above-average moron.

Do You Believe in Love

Not necessarily a chick flick

I admit to be surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Well cast, Meg Ryan in particular.

I enjoyed the dialog, the understated humor, and the story line. The grandmother's role left me somewhat confused, not sure I understand why it was written (or played) the way that it was. However that may be it was the device to get the main character Wisconsin, or was that Michigan? Meg Ryan finally had a role that she excel in. Just the right touch of someone who is more than they seem, and not realizing that themselves. Very interesting story between she and the main character...how they reach out and touch each other, impact each other's lives. Wish the movie had been about twenty minutes longer to better develop the characters and the interaction between them...but two hour movies just aren't the norm anymore and the 100 minutes must suffice. However, it was a 100 minutes well spent.
