A disappointing second effort by writer/director/actor Eric Schaeffer, whose small first film, My Life's in Turnaround, showed great promise. This romantic comedy tries much, much too hard and feels more like a freshman production than a sophomore endeavor. The plot is all fluff and the dialogue is not only meaningless but often embarrassingly crude. Schaeffer and Sarah Jessica Parker have their moments as platonic roommates trying to find true love before their 30th birthdays. She suggests that if they do not find their soul mates within a month, they leap from the Brooklyn Bridge. Lots of scrambling for the perfect mate ensues, with much predictability. By the time the movie ends, you'll be willing to push them both. --Rochelle O'Gorman

LOVE IT!.......2007-05-07

I love this movie. I have never talked to a man that like it though. If you are looking for a good girl movie then this is it.

Totally Funny and Entertaining!.......2007-04-24

I first saw this movie on the sundance channel. I thought it was sweet and hilariuos at times. A perfect role for Sarah Jessica Parker! I highly reccommend this film to anyone who loves "Sex and the City". Sit back,and get ready to laugh, because this film is a trip! Check out the very young Scarlet Johansen! I bought this on DVD and it is in my dvd player A LOT!

It is what it is..........2005-09-19

Excellent cast in a movie that reflects life - sometimes humourous, sometimes disappointing, sometimes sad and sometimes strange.

Although Elle MacPherson cannot act, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller and Eric Schaeffer are convincing enough to take up the slack.

I agree with one of the other reviewers in that this is a consistently funny and touching film.

Not nearly as bad as some people have said.......2004-12-18

Although this isn't the most polished movie, it is genuinely entertaining, and only someone not remotely interested in seeing a romantic comedy would give it 0-1 stars.

I can't remember why I first picked it up (I didn't see it in the theaters), but it is a consistently funny, touching film. I'm not a fan of Sarah Jessica Parker, Elle MacPherson (who I feel turns in the strangest, poorest performance of the bunch), or even Ben Stiller, but I think it's easy to identify with people so afraid to be in love, but so afraid not to be in a committed relationship.

All in all, it's a bunch of laughs, and kind of a relief to watch something that takes itself less seriously than some of the big-name romantic comedies that are put out today and fall flat.

Great cast, but writing sometimes falls through the cracks.......2004-01-23

The casting here was excellent - Ben Stiller, Elle Macpherson, Sarah Jessica Parker were all great. In fact, I am convinced that Elle Macpherson can act because of the 3 movies I have now seen her in, she plays decidedly different people in each one. She is perfectly cast as Joe's dream woman. I found Eric Schaeffer's character the least appealing of the whole cast. Some of the jokes here are wildly funny. The audience is never given a clue that the Jane Lindquist character is only getting involved with Joe to indulge the fantasy world he had created of her. I thought it was odd that she enjoyed his voyeurism and then seemed honestly interested in him sexually, but was not interested in a relationship with him. Earlier her character makes a statement that the world makes too much of the sexually charged days in the beginning of relationships, people move on after that part is over and that a lasting relationship is what she wants. That part did not make sense. This could have been improved by some better writing and better character development. The humor here is what makes this worth watching.
