5/10
Should have been much better...
7 July 1999
The premise was there to make a really good romantic comedy, but somewhere it all went totally wrong. First, there were no sparks between the two leads. There they were near the end pretending to be in love at first sight, and it was just not believable at all. McDermott's character was really annoying, obnoxious, unsympathetic etc... until about 3/4 the way through the film, then he started to be sweet - but he was nowhere near convincing enough. Aniston had VERY little to do, and her character was really only half developed, while Parker's character was a complete joke - how self obsessed can a person be? The pointers on relationships in general fell short, and really the only people to liven up the film were the bit part actors, who outshone the central actors in every scene. Quite frankly this film was a total waste of energy and time. It had the foundation to be O.K but could not properly utilize the resources to pull it off.
