However, this movie pulls it off better than most. At the beginning of the movie, Grace is on the verge of death, with a heart transplant being her only hope for survival.
Grace gets the heart transplant.
I won't spoil the movie for you with specifics such as whose heart she receives. After six months of moping around, Bob agrees to go out to a restaurant with his friend, which is where he and Grace meet and instantly fall in love. That's the central plot of the story. Driver and Duchovny do a great job of delivering their scattered one-liners, which prevents the story from being as dull as it sounds. It is the peripheral characters that put this movie a notch above the rest.
