Quirky but enjoyable romance
15 February 2001 | by drosse67 – See all my reviews

An unusual romantic comedy for Valentines Day viewing. This is clear within the first half hour, when the hopelessly in love couple baths in a tub and washes dishes at the same time. The movie uses milk to represent Lucinda's hidden desire to have a child, although the movie really seems to be about the price of love, not milk--the lovers are given extreme chances to test their love and faithfulness. I liked the film, although some of its imagery was a bit too much.
