catmmo It might have been nice if this had been a romantic comedy, but it wasn't funny at all, and pretty much just lame - Jamie Gertz/Toby is basically this stalker that goes after Sal/Dylan McDermont. The wholemovie leads you to believe that anyone that lives in Jersey is just anobody that needs a man to make life better while working dead-end jobsand not being able to make anything of themselves. This movie may have been made in 1993, but the girls in it all dress like the 80s with crazy bangles and big hair, and Jamie Gertz's accent made me want to slap someone. The only thing memorable about this movie is that it made me not want to remember it at all - I wish I could take back the amount of time I spent watching it and go watch something else ...

Al Rodbell I can't think or a more trite plot than this film. Nothing but cliches and stereotypes in the oldest poor girl meets arogant boy story. Yet, this was something that was touching, sensitive and if I dare say, transcendent.Jami Gertz portrayal of Toby was perfection. The rest of the casting was also perfectly on target. Shucks, even the pre-schooler who told Toby that the "boys were being nuts" was terrific. I suppose direction had much to do with the effectiveness of this film. Each character only existed in the context of their relationships with other characters. They were individuals, but they were never more than who they were in the film.This was a rare and beautiful piece of work.

dolesdonnell I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday and I must say it was SWEET! I absolutely adored it - romantic, funny and with a great ending. PLUS - girls - super Practice hottie Dylan McDermott is the leading man...WHO could ask for more????? Two thumbs up!

famelovingboy68 ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Jami Gertz plays Toby Mastallone, a ditzy, unsophistocated young lady From New Jersey, who works at a daycare. She hangs out with her friends, who's names are juvenille and childish, in a funny way, Cookie, Dottie, Star, and Jasper. The funniest parts of the film seem to be at the beggining, where he meets Mr. Wright after wrecking his mercedes! Which cost about 6,000 bucks damage. Sal M. is Mr Wright. Who is the perfect man. He's a sophisticated tradesman. The main reason I watched this film was Joseph Mazzello,I thought it seemed like an interesting role, going against the grain to his trademark. He playes a kid at the nursery, in a yellow shirt and red overalls, but dissapointingly the only screen time he had was in two scences at the very beggining and end of the film, and his only real lines are only at the beggining, where he builds something out of Popsicle sticks, and a girl wrecks it, he gets mad and says something, tries to throw a dinosaur at her, but then he apologizes and becomes friends, when Toby comes to resolve the problem. I can't believe it it was lame that he was billed fourth in the movie. Throughout the first half of the film Sal seems to try to avoid Toby. Later romance gets real serious and there's kissing and nudity, and an emotional situation where her friends finally meet Sal, and they persuade her to quit seeing him, and she feels like an ugly duckling "Jersey Girl" and says the F-Word. There's a happy and hilarious climax result, and Sal seems to give up even his own job for her.
