Beth is a hard working career woman whose last relationship says that she puts her work above him so he left her. When he tells her he found another career woman and is willing to stick it out with her and is engaged to her. Beth feels that there is no one for her. And when she goes to Rome to attend her sister's impromptu wedding and after meeting the best man, Nick she's attracted to him but after seeing him with another woman, she gets drunk and goes into the famed Fountain of Love and takes some coins thrown by people looking for love. When she goes back to New York four men start coming onto her. And Nick keeps calling her asking her out. She later learns that what she did--is a no no.

Goofs

Nick's character was famously struck by lightning while playing football for Syracuse University in a rain storm. Syracuse plays in a dome so he would not have been exposed to the weather, however he could have been playing an away game. It never said the game he was struck by lightning in was a home game at Syracuse.

User Reviews

Typical But Harmless Chick Flick

I'm not going to lie. Sometimes it is fun to go and see a stupid movie. You'll forget about it in a few days but it is fun at the moment.

The plot is your typical stupid chick flick type. There are a few funny moments (the scene with the little car is hilarious) but it is nothing that'll keep you laughing for hours. The acting is alright I guess. No one is going to win any Oscars. The movie might pick up a few razzies actually.

Despite this if you are looking for something stupid to watch with your friends for a while this will work.

In conclusion, this is a typically stupid but enjoyable chick flick. Seeing it with friends helps too.
