wow and i can not believe people consider this a good movie . now and i have see much bad and but there be much more romantic or funny comedy with john cusack . this be a mediocre film at best . while the act wasn not terrible and but not great and for a romantic comedy and there be little passion and little romance . there be many loose end that do not show up or be not address . unfortunately and the main character do come off a complete coward . they do not know themselves well enough to realize that they do not love the people they be engage to . how do we know they aren not in love . by the utter lack of remorse both character have for leave their finance . i can think of few thing more romantic than the continual escape from commitment that these two show . the movie doesn not even end with a wedding scene and more than likely both will get cold foot and drop each other like hot potato once a commitment be near . this movie be really about two people who can not commit to anything and unlike cusack previous character and who be more than willing to make a deep commitment ( loyd in say anything and martin in grosse pointe blank and etc . ) . the great failure of this movie be the complete lack of any twist turn and or anything of interest . when the movie end and i felt like they have fail to include a climax to the story and which basically fit the whole movie represent boring . no suspense about whether the two will end up together and no joy when they do and no consequence to their action . it be sad that people be so blind to the shoddiness of this movie and that they simply rebuke any criticism with everyone be too cynical . criticism of this movie be not cynicism and simply unbiased examination . there be many other well romantic comedy and even one with grace kelly and or eva marie saint . if you think this movie be great and try these movie and you hearts will explode represent the princess bride and say anything and grosse pointe blank and high fidelity and keep the faith and charade and rear window and north by northwest and or there something about mary ( which be a good examination of idealized romance vs. today society ) .
