Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Conor Barry comes home from his date with GiGi and Alex is watching hockey at his house, the announcer says "the Terps are crossing midice". When they cut to the TV the 2 teams listed with the score are UND (University of North Dakota) and NIA (Niagara) neither of whom would be the Maryland Terrapins who would be the team in the movie since it was to take place in Baltimore, Maryland.

Quotes:

Gigi: A girl will never forget the first boy she ever likes.

Exception, not the rule

What an adorable feel-good film.

I don't quite have the energy to write some long eloquent review but I just had to say how much I really enjoyed the script, first and foremost. They couldn't put relationships better. Course it gets unrealistic at the end, it's less often as happy an ending, but who cares. I think the only thing they left out is that simile, that dating is like trying to get a financial loan, you have to prove that you don't need it to get it. My personal favorite bit was the relationship between Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Alex (Justin Long). You'll see what I mean... The child in the beginning, also, had thee most perfect expressions... just adorable. And Jennifer Connelly proves herself as an acting heavyweight throughout.

Exceptional script, great cast, wonderful acting, slightly but amusingly embarrassing in parts, entertaining from the get-go, but leaving you with a big smile at the end. Well worth the $5 rental... I'm not sure how it will hold up when the next round of chick flicks rolls into theaters or onto my screen, but I've got a 24-hour window on OnDemand and I plan on seeing this little gem again... like right now.
