User Reviews

Torsten Rüger
The best Meg Ryan film, imho. Not just for the twisted RomCom but also the Hollywood sarcasm. There is good chemistry, the actors are good, script is good, production adequate and it avoids being cheesy. This is RomCom for adults, and Meg has matured nicely. William too is shining quikily. A not so well known, underrated but very good movie, where it looks like the people had actual fun making it.
