Details

A story told from three angles. Max meets Elizabeth; they live together, but when she talks of marriage, he balks. He becomes extremely jealous, probably without cause, and thinks she's taken up with a friend of his, Jack. Elizabeth, stung by Max's refusal to marry, catches Jack's eye, but the friendship seems innocent. Lena, who works with Max, likes him and realizes she can manipulate his jealousy and maybe engineer his split from Elizabeth. When she's sure Elizabeth is with a man, she calls Max at work, sending him home to confront the lovers. Then, Lena feels guilty and takes off for Max's apartment. What's really going on? Who's with Elizabeth?

Diagonaldi Very well executed
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
whpratt1 Enjoy most of Drew Barrymore's films and in this picture she takes a backseat in the very beginning of the film and you begin to wonder if she will appear. Drew plays (Lena) a girl who works at a movie theater and wears wild, way out clothes, but is pretty darn smart and crafty; especially when it comes to a man she wants and desires for a soul mate! Jennifer Beals, (Elizabeth),"Break a Leg",'05 shares her pad with a guy she thinks she loves and things start to change rather quickly. This guy is a movie projectionist (Years ago) who also invented a small floss device for the teeth which tastes like ginger and the people in Japan are nuts about this item. Lots of funny situations and great acting on the part of Jennifer Beals and Drew Barrymore.
missingkittie77 The 2 good things about this film were the costume and personality that Drew Barrymore had, and the way that they worked the 3 individuals stories into one another, which kept you a little in suspense. Other than that, this film didn't have much to offer. It wasn't romantic or funny. Not horrible either, though. I give it a 5/10 (Average)
Ratgirl116 I know my one line summary was corny but I couldn't sum up my thoughts in one line. I originally saw this movie in order to see John Stewart and even though he's not the star of the movie, I enjoyed watching this movie and the other actors very much. It really compares what we "wish" for and how we deal with what reality brings to love and life. It had a very unique comical sense and plot. It's one of those movies that you'll be quoting for a while. I LOVED IT!!!
Hypercentury I've just watched this movie and I found it very good. I decided to watch it because of Drew Barrymore - she is my favorite - but even though she didn't have a very big part I enjoyed this movie a lot. This movie is about a woman who wants the boyfriend of her "friend" and she does everything to take him from her. It is separated in three parts. In the first part it shows the whole story briefly. It stops in the most agonized scene. In the second part the story starts again, almost, from the beginning and shows more information about how and why and stops in the same scene and in the third and final part - which is colorless - it finishes and you finally understand what' s all this about... I put 9 out of 10
