sandeepamar OK fine, it is not absolutely great direction and closure, But what a wow film, really 10 out of 10 on an effort. It a an amazingly great film, especially for a lot of people who were young in the 90s, The thoughts, the changes, the culture, the alternative rock, the next way of life. The lead lady, cannot sleep, does her laundry in the night, has a cool set of friends, finds love in her life, and the movie turns color, till then it is black and white. The love piece is complicated, but everyone keeps it simple, nothing melodramatic at all.......It is like some wise men say, accept life as it is, everyone in the movie does that n till the end. Its really about how life should be lived, and taken on....A must watch for every movie buff, lots to take home....Enjoy

Snoopymichele When I saw this movie 10 years ago on video, I was captivated by the story and the acting, but turned off by Frankie's blathering. When I watched it again last night, I had the same reaction.The acting-especially the adorable Mackenzie Astin (who was such a cute kid on Facts of Life, nice to see he grew up so well)-more than make up for the sometimes awful lines that the luminous Ione Skye has to mutter. She's such a good actress that I actually cringed at some of her dialogue. It's the earnestness in which she says it that made me not laugh out loud though. Instead of coming off as a pompous, pretentious poser, Skye portrays Frankie as a hopeless romantic. She's a lonely dreamer who finds her soul mate at just about the time she's given up on the notion that he is out there. So when she meets David (Astin), her world is rocked. Love at first sight happens for both, but there is one glitch-he has a live in girlfriend. Of course, David is so sensitive and sweet that one has to wonder what he's doing with a cold, pragmatic law student named Molly Monday. Of course, he just has to give in to his desire to be with Frankie, even if it means relocating yet again to another city.The fact that David spends loads of time with Frankie and leads her cousin (Michael Landes in what should have been a break out role)and friends to think that he has a thing for her despite hiding his relationship means nothing to her though. Instead of seeing him as someone who can't be trusted, Frankie is determined to break up his relationship and claim him for herself. She doesn't want to hear her friend Allison (played brilliantly by Jennifer Aniston) tell her that there are other fish in the sea. She only wants the David Shrader fish. Who could blame her? Astin plays this role with grace and sensitivity, even when David acts like a weasel. It's hard to dislike his character-he's captivating and brilliant. No one is perfect, and neither is this movie. Silly dialogue aside, it's close to it. I give it an 8 out of 10.

bambi0 This is one of the best 5 romance/comedies I've seen in my life. Ione Skye is perfect as Frankie, and Jennifer Anniston surpasses her role in the TV series "Friends" (a show I never liked much, despite her great acting.Another IMDb user mentioned that this film was right up there with "Chasing Amy" and I agree 110%!!! In a similar but yet different way Ione Skye plays strange roles in the same way that Hilary Swank has done. Pamela Anderson BE GONE! I'll vote for the actresses who can portray interesting, intellectual characters and who are not silicone enhanced "bombshells" with only two or three working brain cells.Ione and Hilary will probably never make many covers of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, or Playboy, but they CAN ACT! (I could name a bunch of other actresses who do do not get by on just their looks, but Ione and Hilary seem to be almost akin in many ways. Go figure.bambi, "own thousands of movies, seen lots multiple times" deer

waynerumsey This movie fails horribly. The writer/director tries to fill the movie with witty dialogue, but lacks the skill to make it successful. Dialogue should flow effortlessly, but the actors in this film obviously struggle to regurgitate their lines. A novice attempt.
