7/10
Underrated & overlooked
17 March 2004
I never knew this was retitled(I'm sure it really cleaned up as a result!).I normally don't like romantic comedies,but this one stands out as a realistic and melancholy rendering of a love affair,with subtle laughs all throughout.It ain't Annie Hall,but it ain't bad either.I gave it a 7 only because most romantic comedies suck. You HAVE to write 10 lines.You'd think they'd want to curb long-winded diatribes(like some of the ones I write).Well,don't you find it oddly coincidental that John Heard(who is confused by name with John Hurt)stars with Mary Beth Hurt in this movie,and that for fleeting moments,John Heard (somewhat) resembles William Hurt in this film?And that none of these people are any more closely related to each other than we are?(excepting that you're my cousin Gino reading this,which is unlikely,since Gino is mentally-challenged)
