Overall Call:
This is another light romantic comedy with John Cusack. This time the humor is a little sharper more ironic and not always as light as it first might appear. The premise is a bit far fetched but just go with the flow. If you ease into the plot and just let it happen the film is a nice enjoyable Saturday night romp. The script is well put together even with its many contributors. There are numerous noteworthy performances. Alan Arkin as the shrink and Joan Cusack as her brothers assistant were both great characters. It is a kind of whimsical mainstreamer with enough hints of originality that make this one hit on target. Give this one a view it's tough not to like something about it.
Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Sharp humor
+ Numerous great comedic performances
+ Well written script
