TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

: There was a quote where the main actress checks into the hotel and the bellboy says something to the effect of "walk by the fountain, you'll feel like you're in Rome" I could have sworn i heard this in an old classic somewhere. I wondered if anybody remembered seeing it. I gave the movie 5 stars because I don't like Romantic comedies, but I didn't want to tank it based on my bias. I don't want my vote to throw the balance off one way or the other. It is interesting that Michael Vartan later played Michael Vaughn in alias. As a younger actor his director must have forced him to take on the name of Charlie :). For what it is worth i know i watched this movie in the theatre with my wife but it didn't impact her enough for her to remember it the next time around.

maddiedat Sure, it had some of the makings of a good film. The storyline is good, if a bit bland and the acting was good enough though I didn't understand why Olivia d'Abo had such a pronounced Australian accent if her character was supposed to have been raised in the US. My biggest problem, however, was with the wardrobe. I know as rule, the average American is considered a frumpy dresser by any self-respecting European but this was beyond that. Anna's colour combinations were positively ghastly!! And that potato sack-like, sad excuse for a coat she wore throughout the film made me break out in hives. I suppose the idea was to be as realistic as possible (how many school teachers walk around in Prada?) but simple doesn't mean an absolute lack of taste. A word to the wise...

sweetbaby-1 I just can't understand the negative comments about this film. Yes it is a typical boy-meets-girl romance but it is done with such flair and polish that the time just flies by. Henstridge (talk about winning the gene-pool lottery!) is as magnetic and alluring as ever (who says the golden age of cinema is dead?) and Vartan holds his own.There is simmering chemistry between the two leads; the film is most alive when they share a scene - lots! It is done so well that you find yourself willing them to get together...Ignore the negative comments - if you are feeling a bit blue, watch this flick, you will feel so much better. If you are already happy, then you will be euphoric.(PS: I am 33, Male, from the UK and a hopeless romantic still searching for his Princess...)

jody3232 I'm a sucker for a good romance, but this one doesn't qualify as either good or a romance. I had the plot nailed down before the credits were through. With such poor dialog, plot and character development, I suggest investing your hour and a half elsehere. I had to rush out and rent Serendipity for the third time so I could get the bad taste of this one out of my mouth.
