But it is a heart warming film which sucks you in despite the fact that you know exactly how it is going to play out. David Duchovny, famed the world over for his role as Mulder in The X-Files , actually smiles repeatedly in this movie and does a very good job. He and Minnie Driver have a good chemistry as does the whole cast. Besides the old guys, there are some very funny scenes between Hunt and her husband played by Jim Belushi. Given that this movie was never going to be complex, it still takes too long to work itself up to the climatic scene where all is finally revealed, and even then it is just a little bump on the road to true love.
Hunt does a good job of making the movie funny without being too sweet.
So if you just saw High Fidelity and you are tired of thinking too much and want romance without all those messy details, this is the movie for you.
