Goofs:

Continuity: The scene in which Brett is in the car with Archie shows her with the seat belt over her shoulder. Then, when the camera moves, you see her seat belt around her upper arm. This happens throughout the entire car ride.

Quotes:

Archie Knox: Why won't you marry me?
Brett Eisenberg: Are you asking me to explain?
Archie Knox: Yes, I am.
Brett Eisenberg: When I look at you, I see a teacher. But when you look at me, you see a student. Because you like to run away. It's part of who you are. Because, in the end, a girl can't grow up until she looses a father and leaves an Archie.

Actually...

Despite most user comments, I did enjoy this movie. Sarah did an amazing job... And I readily believed her portrayal of a young woman in love/security. It was actually refreshing to see Sarah in a role completely different from any previously depicted by her. However... Isn't there always an however?! It would have been nice to have had George Clooney or someone not dissimilar in the role as leading man... Alec Baldwin? Not my cup of tea, I have to say. Still, I did find their relationship believable. Despite all this, a definite 8/10. And a great soundtrack! Sarah, earned herself a 10/10. Then again, she'd have to do something incredibly wrong to not earn my devotion. :-)
