Guy's equivalent of a "Chick Flick"

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2000)

While John Cusack is mostly the "anti-Lloyd Dobler" in this film (see "Say Anything"), he still brings the same reality to the character of Rob. As I watched this film, it occurred to me that I've had most of doubts, fears, thoughts, emotions and reactions as Rob. I'll bet most guys, to a certain extent, have. My wife hates when I say this, but the film is merely a glimpse into someone's life. This journey, however, seemed to reach me not vicariously but introspectively. OK, getting too deep...
Jack Black is a scream! Not a bad voice either (assuming it's really him...). Joan Cusack is, as always, the perfect foil to John's character.

I'd say it's a must see for the average moviegoer and a don't miss for any Cusack fan.
