ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

classicsoncall The irony in my summary line above is that Lucy (Sandra Bullock) was the one to find Peter (Peter Gallagher), and not the other way around, and then, as things progress, she winds up finding Peter's brother in a film filled with clever second guessing and imponderable coincidences. The cleverest was the 'one testicle' scenario. I wondered how the script was going to pull off that little conundrum and the screenwriters did it with style. So here's a romantic comedy that works without getting sappy. Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman affect a low key chemistry in the story that allows them to ride out the controversy of a phony engagement made all too real through a series of misjudgments. You really have to give the screenwriters credit here for making a believable story out of a set of unbelievable circumstances. The only thing that might not work here is the idea that someone who looks like Sandra Bullock wouldn't have eligible guys lined all the way up and down the block from her el-train cubicle to ask her out on a date. That aside, the story comes together in a charming way to make this not only an engaging chick flick, but an entertaining family film as well.

sarahharris-01675 The movie follows Lucy, an offensive stereotype of an autistic woman (which I can only assume was unintentional since I doubt the screenwriter has even met an autistic person at all), who on top of being too pitiful to live is just a horrendous person all around. She always uses his painful shyness as an excuse to just not clear up the misunderstandings (especially the one that kickstarts the plot) and end the movie right then and there. She even goes out of her way to stalk around in the apartment of the guy she's pretending to be engaged to, which only adds credence to my theory that she was written to be a terrible stereotype of an autistic woman and set disability representation back by three decades. All of the other characters (save for Peter, I suppose) are terrible as well. Jack develops feelings for his brother's supposed fiancee without even thinking about how much this might affect him, and the rest of the family pretty much just abandons Peter when they find out that he'd been engaged to a woman who was already married (to be fair, though, I don't think Peter could've known she was married at that time). Yes, this movie is so bad that I actually ended up feeling sorry for Peter, a character who's not supposed to be sympathetic in the slightest.I will give the movie this, though. Lucy and Peter don't get married at the end. Honestly, I think that's for the best since their entire relationship was based on a lie.If you want to watch a good rom-com, please do not watch this offensive tripe. It will make you scream and cry with rage like I did, and just make you question what life is.

lisee_lulu I confess...this movie is cheesy, corny and cliché in every possible way. As an author, I should be appalled but you know what? I'm not! I love a good chick flick and this ticks all the boxes. The truth is, if you want a girly movie, you're going to have to put up with clichés. The moment Peter fell onto the tracks, it was clear what was going to happen yet somehow, it made the movie so much more enjoyable. I love the acting of Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. They both just work so well together. This movie is one I love to sit and watch on a lazy Saturday night when my husband is doing something else. An amazing, feel-good movie that has you grinning like an idiot at the end despite how predictable it is.

Yellowanderer I am not really a fan of chick flicks. I think they are only good when it's raining outside. However, I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock so I watched it. This film did not make me laugh, or want to fall in love all over again but it sure gave me a warm smile in my heart. It doesn't bore you at all. Entertaining for sure you won't notice how much time you spent facing the screen. I was just surprised Peter Gallagher used to do this kind of role... you know sleeping. Hahaha! I was kinda hooked with his role as Arthur in Covert Affairs. It sure has the Sandra B charm. I will surely watch it all over again, and I recommend it to women who live alone and watch TV with their cats. or to ladies living with roomies. This could bring in some giggle. :)
