i be on a british airway flight from london to new york when i saw this movie . i wish i could have fall asleep . the story line be very thin and the edit crew do their best to stretch it out as long a they do . gary and play by andy garcia and be such an unlikable character that i find it hard to be supportive of him . andy act ability be good but not good enough to make up for the poor writing in this movie . andie macdowell do a fine job with her portrayal of linda and gary romantic interest . i can not say anything bad about andie and i always enjoy her acting . the problem here be that the romance between andy and andie be so far fetched and unbelievable . the two do not make a good pair on the big screen . the end of the movie be almost a much of a let down a the movie itself . a nod from the pope and all be forgive and come on . the event that allow this movie to have a some what happy end and that the writer would expect u to accept it be pathetic . gary do not change and only by the death of a dear friend do his situation get well . there be ton of great movie that should be see before this one . don not waste your time .
