By Lucinda Eagle Happy bohemian couple is blissfully untroubled by the bourgeois trappings of commitment and career ambitions. Then one day, Girl finds interesting job and begins to have aspirations beyond sporting black clothing and going to nightclubs. Boy fails to heed signs of Girl s impatience with his inability to grow up.
Girl leaves Boy.
Boy realizes Girl was the best thing that ever happened to him, but still cannot see why at the age of thirty she wants to broaden her interests beyond garage band trivia. The same movie came out last summer except it was called Big Daddy, and it was actually funny. Since John Cusack has successfully played sly outsiders with off-handed charm, the role of Rob seems like a natural for him. Thus he remains in post-adolescent purgatory as he presides over an iconoclastic record store with few customers. The viewer keeps praying that the inevitable self-actualization will occur.
