Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) is an assistant editor of a fashion magazine in NYC. She goes on a tropical vacation with boyfriend Frank Martin (David Schwimmer). After accepting Frank's proposal, Robin has a quick job to supervise a photo shoot. She hops on Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford)'s plane to make the short trip but a storm forces them to crash.
I've never bought Harrison Ford as a rom-com lead and this is a prime example. Although he has more chemistry with Anne Heche than David Schwimmer has with her. This is pretty standard rom-com fare. If it had better actors for this type of movie, I think this could have worked. Anne Heche also has a bit of problem with light rom-coms. There is a specific type that these two actors don't necessarily fit.
Then there is the switch in tone midway through. If that's the tone, then the first half is ill-fitting. I hate that the movie keeps going back to Schwimmer. His character really doesn't work for many reasons. This movie struggles to find the right tone.
