this film has it all . . . !

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2003)

It's funny : there's chemistry : outstanding writing : this film has it all. Kate Hudson and super stardom are on destiny's path (so much charisma... ) Bebe Neuwirth, always a treasure on screen. This is the best date flick since Sleepless in Seattle. Everything works (and I hate Date Flicks as a rule - shallow). If it's formulaic, the formula's a new one and promises a fresh new future for the genre. Screenwriters Kristen Buckley, Brian Regan and Burr Steers deserve much of the credit; though director Donald Petrie gets the credit for putting it all together. See it as soon as you can.
