A romantic comedy without pretensions that succeeds brilliantly.

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 1999)

This film doesn't try to be anything more than it is - a romantic comedy with just enough adventure and angst to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering how it can possibly end happily. And it succeeds brilliantly in achieving that goal. Jonathan Richman's live musical comments, a la Greek chorus (or Cat Ballou) set a charmingly whimsical tone from the start. This movie is fun!
