This movie gives chick flicks a bad name. The dialogue is miserable. I offer as evidence....the story about crawling through vents and taking pictures Ha ha (was that supposed to be cute?) the expert way he approached an adolescent with "I bet you have a lot of friends at school." what if the answer is no? The secondary story line with the friends really strains credulity and while all the characters are somewhat attractive there is simply no life there. Even the parts that are supposed to be deep philosophical points (the painter and his navy story) ultimately go nowhere, which is the theme of this film, you keep waiting for something of consequence to happen.I'm sorry if you are thinking about renting this, keep looking unless you're looking for a comedy ala Plan 9 from Outer Space

***THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** an interesting movie about a coincidence that turns 2 persons plans upside down and tests their ability to make the right decision at the right moment. both Anna and Charlie meet each other while they were preparing to getting married to 2 other people, each of them realizes that he/she has found his/her soul mate. so, they have to make up their mind before it is too late.may be the idea is not new but the beauty of the movie is not in "what" it is tackling but "how" it has tackled its subject. this movie, to a great extent, succeeds in creating an amazing romantic atmosphere that fills you with hope that one day you may find Mr. right.Natasha (Anna) and Michael (Charlie) had good chemistry with each other and so did the supporting actor and actress playing their best friends. a true friend is a true advice and an ability to share one's moments of happiness and grief.

There was a quote where the main actress checks into the hotel and the bellboy says something to the effect of "walk by the fountain, you'll feel like you're in Rome" I could have sworn i heard this in an old classic somewhere. I wondered if anybody remembered seeing it. I gave the movie 5 stars because I don't like Romantic comedies, but I didn't want to tank it based on my bias. I don't want my vote to throw the balance off one way or the other. It is interesting that Michael Vartan later played Michael Vaughn in alias. As a younger actor his director must have forced him to take on the name of Charlie :). For what it is worth i know i watched this movie in the theatre with my wife but it didn't impact her enough for her to remember it the next time around.

This was a good movie. It was two people falling in love, obviously! The guy keeps running into another woman and eventually falls in love with her. She knows she may have feelings for him but she knows they are supposed to be marrying other people. They don't really show much of the people's significant other's for some reason. I guess the movie is not really about them rather more about the main couple. I like both Natasha Henstridge's character and the other guy that played opposite her. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone that is looking for a movie about two people that are supposed to be together. I especially liked the ending of it. It really made the movie come together.
