would have been hokey w/o Roberts and grant

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2006)

great date movie. fine performances from Roberts and grant. grant gives a great performance every time. i am not a huge Julia fan (she's o.k.), but she really nails it here. that's because she is playing herself. this movie would have been tired except for Roberts/grant and a wonderful supporting cast. they all made it sparkle. this movie has a big heart, and i really liked it. i bought the video, but it is still under raps. i saw it on my new digital cable and the sound was great. the soundtrack tunes were few, but very effective. all in all, a fine effort. if you don't enjoy this movie, you don't have a romantic bone in your body. it even got to a formerly idealistic, now cynical romantic like me.
