Strictly average movie

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"Anything less than extraordinary is a waste of time." We should all be so lucky as to live our lives according to this phrase, which is the theme of this film. I know that by many peoples standards this movie is not up to par, but how can a simple love story that reminds its viewers to live life to the fullest be all that bad. I found the main character, Frankie, to be charming and witty. Some may call her a little over the top but I am here to report that there is a woman in this world who is the living, breathing equivalent of the character, Frankie, and she happens to be my best friend...lucky me :) This movie, with all of its little quirks, is one of my favorites and I urge anyone interested to give it a chance.

In San Francisco, Frankie (Ione Skye) is a dreamer aspiring to be an actress. She has been insomniac for seventeen years, since she lost her parents in a car accident. She was raised by her uncle Leo (Seymor Cassel) and works in his bar, and both are great fans of Frank Sinatra. Her cousin Rob is gay, but afraid to assume his sexual option to his father Leo. Her best friend is Allison (Jennifer Aniston), who is also an aspirant of actress. Frankie and Allison will move in a couple of days to New York. The new-hire David Shrader (Mackenzie Astin) is a blocked writer who is not able to write anything new, and Frankie has a crush on him. However, David has a girl-friend (Molly) for three years, loves her and is faithful to her. Frankie tries to seduce her twin-soul David anyway. The name of this movie could be: `How to Steal Molly's Boy-Friend in Ninety Minutes'. The story is very talky and full of citations, but it has not convinced me. I found it very silly. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): `Alma de Poeta, Olhos de Sinatra' (`Soul of Poet, Eyes of Sinatra')

A charming little movie, made just around the time "Friends" (and Jennifer Aniston) were becoming huge.Jennifer Aniston, sporting her then famous 'The Rachel' haircut, is good in a supporting role; but it is Ione Skye that really shines.A lovely, independent little romantic comedy drama, that managed to find a place in my heart (I know - aw shucks and all that).Favourite line, issued by Ione Skye after the guy of her dreams has given her a cup of hot milk to help her slip (paraphrase): "You're not going to make me drink any more warm white fluids ... are you?!"WICKED!

This movie fails horribly. The writer/director tries to fill the movie with witty dialogue, but lacks the skill to make it successful. Dialogue should flow effortlessly, but the actors in this film obviously struggle to regurgitate their lines. A novice attempt.
