karo-6 It seems this movie gets watched either because of Jon Bon Jovi or in spite of him. I'm one of the latter - it was on TV right after my supper and i said ok, now i'll watch this movie even if JBJ is starring... i must say that my prejudice wasn't based on his acting, as i never watched him act - it's more that i find his music trash. But he turned out quite a ok actor. But even better was the movie overall - a smart relationships- and looking-for-love story with a nice plot revolving around 5-and-a-half characters and taking sharp turns every 10 minutes, with (almost) everything happening at wrong times. I did find the style of some of the main characters' various confessions slightly over-styled for the confidant at hand, but i did like the idea of every character having his own way of analysing him/herself aloud (confession booth, support-group, taxi-dispatcher, shrink, diary); but i also didn't mind the glitch in light of the rest of this witty, funny, honest, warm movie. I especially liked the acts of Josh Charles and Annabella Sciorra.

asilvahalo I admit, I picked this up because I wanted a little Bon Jovi eye-candy, and didn't *really* expect the movie to be any good, but then I saw it had Josh Charles and Annabella Sciorra in it, and I think then I expected a little too much of it. Like a plot that *made sense.*It wasn't so much the overall theme of the movie that I disagreed with as it was the fact that the characters themselves were pretty shoddy. By this I don't mean that they were caricatures (though many were, particularly Bon Jovi's Kevin), but rather that the characters did not even make decisions consistent with how they supposedly acted and thought. The ending, particularly for Kevin and Nina, left me feeling as though miles of film that explained *how* and *why* these things were happening had been left on the cutting room floor.The acting was all right, and some of the dialogue was downright witty, but none of it was good enough to rescue a character-driven movie with flat characters and poor characterization.

mdlngstr Ok...I admit it. I'm totally in love with Jon Bon Jovi and I seen this movie that had him in it...so I had to see it. I didn't know if I would like it or not...I knew it was about love, but that's it. Well...I watched it and surprised...I actually liked it. It was a cute little film. It was kinda confusing at times, but I enjoyed it. And yes...Jon Bon Jovi HAS improved on his acting ability. I'd recommend the movie to people. :)

Dawn-31 I'm a big Jon Bon Jovi fan so the only reason I rented this video was because he was in it. But the movie turned out to be really good. Even if JBJ didn't have a part, I would have enjoyed it anyway. It's about the ups & downs of being single & looking for "Mr./Ms. Right" in the 90's.
