This movie spreads all the wrong ideas about love. When the Kate Beckindale character won't give the John Cusack character her phone number or name, unless they have a sign from "fate", I was hoping he would throw up his hands in digust and decide to go be in a better movie. Alas. The idea the the female lead's behavior is forgivable or even acceptable is just plain wrong. This sort of belief in "fate" is what leads some people to disregard real happiness right in front of them for some distant ideal which may never materialize. This movie has plenty of other problams as well, including the presence of Molly Shannon, who while funny, just doesn't fit in to the movie's tone. This movie is a sad excuse for a romantic comedy.
