Not as good as I hoped

Rating: 5/10 (31 March 2000)

I am a John Cusack fan, hell make that a John and Joan Cusack fan. Unlike how this move is portrayed in the commercials and trailers it was unfortunately more relation-shippy than comedy...not that it didn't have it's moments - but they are few and far between (not to mention that dead zone in the middle).
I would marginally recommend it, as a date movie (if a slightly depressing one at that). If you love John Cusack, you get a lot of him talking straight to you, it just wasn't my cup of tea. And while it has an impressive slate of actors, I would have appreciated more from some, like Tim Robbins and the dynamic record store duo....but generally too little of too many actors.
