Completely Vapid

Rating: 3/10 (30 July 2002)

That pretty much says it all. There are a few funny moments, but all in all, I think the quality of the movie can be summed up by Julia Roberts's teary line, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her"(complete with long unnecessary faux-method pauses)--and as if the line on its own wasn't bad enough, it's repeated twice! It's a formulaic and only mildly heartwarming romantic comedy. Rent it only if you intend to spend most of the time it's playing making out with someone rather than watching the screen.
