Storyline

Mary Horowitz writes crossword puzzles for the Sacramento Herald. She's loquacious to a fault. When kids at a career day make fun of her for being single, she accepts a blind date with Steve, the cameraman for a CNN-like news network. Within minutes she decides he's the man for her. He's quickly put off by her constant verbiage and over-the-top advances; he makes an off-hand remark about going on the road with her, and splits. She's moonstruck, writes a sappy crossword puzzle, loses her job, and decides to follow him as the news team crisscrosses the Southwest; Steve's team eggs her on. Then she falls in a mine shaft, and she and Steve become a story; is it a love story?

User Reviews

The Right Amount of Every Genre

I walked into this movie only knowing that it was about some crazy girl obsessed with some guy. I was like "oh yes another chick flick, can't wait...". In the end this is defiantly not a chick flick, it was a romantic comedy for both sexes. This movie was not overrated it had the perfect combination of comedy, romance, and even a scene of horror that had the whole theater jump. The acting in this movie was phenomenal and everyone can relate a little bit to this movie. The thing that made this movie awesome was that they made every character lovable. Usually I'm not a huge fan of romantic comedy's, but in my opinion this was one of the best I've seen since 50 First Dates. Another thing that made me love this movie was that it didn't drag and it either had me smiling or laughing the whole time. I could watch this movie over and over again.
