Maybe it was just my mood, but this struck me as that very rare thing, a successful, intelligent romantic comedy.
Granted there are a few moments when there is a little too much Woody Allen influence, but then, Woody has certainly borrowed from others as well.
The acting is subtle, the writing witty, and some of the jokes are really funny.
Not every moment works, but most do, and there is a lot of thoughtfulness among the laughs as Eric Stoltz works to overcome his crippling jealousy.
