Tripe

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2002)

Julia Roberts delivers the same sort of schtick again -- a movie star! But oh SO down to earth. She failed to sell it because she is utterly without charm. And you can't tell me that she was actually acting in this movie -- it's not much of a stretch when she is, in essence, just playing HERSELF.
The script and plot were overly sentimental and unimaginative. Julia's immortal utterance of "I'm just a girl...standing before a boy...asking him to love her" will live on in my mind as the most nauseating and cringe-inducing line of all time. I shudder at the memory.
Only Hugh Grant managed to save this movie from being completely intolerable.
