Picky Frankie (Ione Skye) can't find a good man. She has trouble sleeping since she lost her parents. She works at a coffee shop for her uncle Leo (Seymour Cassel). His son Rob (Michael Landes) can't come out of the closet to him, and tells him he's dating Frankie's friend Allison (Jennifer Aniston). The movie starts in black and white until Frankie meets new employee aspiring writer David (Mackenzie Astin). Frankie falls for him but he already has a girlfriend.This is a standard rom-com with some interesting writing from Tiffanie DeBartolo. This is her first and apparently only work which is interesting in itself. It certainly has potential although she needs help with the directing. The biggest problem is the male lead Mackenzie Astin. He's not compelling enough to lead a rom-com. Ione Skye is fine. Her biggest contribution is her giant smile. Jennifer Aniston does a good job, but her star power almost overshadows everybody. Good first try for DeBartolo but sadly no second try.

I thought the first half of the movie was fantastic; the use of color, the eccentricity of Frankie, the main character, and just the general way in which this "conventional" romantic comedy added its own ticks and quirks (with an infusion of Frank Sinatra) held so much promise.From this first half I was prepared to absolutely fall in love with this movie. The leads were charismatic and the chemistry was good and everything seemed in place. But everything starts unraveling in the second half; things happen too fast, things seem too absolute, emotions are strange and constantly changing (telling someone that you don't want a relationship with her... and then sleeping with your head in her lap and kissing her/holding her hand on the way home...) and things generally don't seem to progress rationally.still, it was worth watching just for the artistic novelty and the amazing first half.

This is one of the best 5 romance/comedies I've seen in my life. Ione Skye is perfect as Frankie, and Jennifer Anniston surpasses her role in the TV series "Friends" (a show I never liked much, despite her great acting.Another IMDb user mentioned that this film was right up there with "Chasing Amy" and I agree 110%!!! In a similar but yet different way Ione Skye plays strange roles in the same way that Hilary Swank has done. Pamela Anderson BE GONE! I'll vote for the actresses who can portray interesting, intellectual characters and who are not silicone enhanced "bombshells" with only two or three working brain cells.Ione and Hilary will probably never make many covers of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, or Playboy, but they CAN ACT! (I could name a bunch of other actresses who do do not get by on just their looks, but Ione and Hilary seem to be almost akin in many ways. Go figure.bambi, "own thousands of movies, seen lots multiple times" deer

I admit I was a bit worried about seeing this film...lets face it, the cast alone sent out warning flares...An 80's teen movie star, Rachel from 'Friends' and some guy who happened to be the brother of another 80's teen movie star!! I cringed at the thought when a friend wanted to hire the movie, but I thought 'what the hey, you only live once'. And am I glad I hired it or what?? Ione Skye was perfect as Frankie, Mackenzie Astin is gorgeous as David, and don't let me forget their chemistry - they're perfect together....and I'm not forgetting Jennifer Aniston, who proved she could shake off her Rachel stigma and become someone completely different. But it's not just the cast, the story is completely fresh, the music is fabulous and I got enough memorable quotes to last me a lifetime!! This movie is a must see, for anybody who believes in love, destiny and waiting for Mr Right.
