Director: Peter Chelsom
Starring: John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale
Year: 2001
Genre: Romance
Rated: PG-13
Length: 93 min.
IMDB Summary: A couple reunite years after the night they first met, fell in love, and
separated, convinced that one day they'd end up together.
Review:
A cheesy but endearing plot involving love
and destiny. The two stars, Cusack and Beckinsale, have wonderful chemistry onscreen, as he portrays the logical, scientifically-minded male lead and she the spontaneous, starry-eyed female lead.
That said, the music is very sappy and detracts from the movie. The screenwriters also fell back on some cliches that stunted the characters' development. Although I didn't like this
movie as much as I'd hoped, I still recommend it as a fun, lighthearted chick flick.
For Parents:
There is an awkward sex scene between Beckinsale's character and another man that was totally unnecessary to the light romance plot. In all honesty, it's worth skipping.
My Rating:
***
