It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

***THIS COMMENT MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** an interesting movie about a coincidence that turns 2 persons plans upside down and tests their ability to make the right decision at the right moment. both Anna and Charlie meet each other while they were preparing to getting married to 2 other people, each of them realizes that he/she has found his/her soul mate. so, they have to make up their mind before it is too late.may be the idea is not new but the beauty of the movie is not in "what" it is tackling but "how" it has tackled its subject. this movie, to a great extent, succeeds in creating an amazing romantic atmosphere that fills you with hope that one day you may find Mr. right.Natasha (Anna) and Michael (Charlie) had good chemistry with each other and so did the supporting actor and actress playing their best friends. a true friend is a true advice and an ability to share one's moments of happiness and grief.

This is a really old fashion charming movie. The locations are great and the situation is one of those old time Preston sturgess movies. Fi you want to watch a movie that doesn't demand much other then to sit back and relax then this is it. The acting is good, and I really liked Michael Rispoli. He was in Rounders, too. And While You Were Sleeping. The rest of the cast is fun. It's just what happens when two people about to get married meet the one that they really love on the weekend that they are planning their own weddings. I know... sounds kooky... but it is. And that's what makes it fun to watch. It will make your girl friend either hug you or leave you, but at least you'll know.

The key word here is "potential". After seeing "Never Been Kissed", which I absolutely loved, I was on a search for another Michael Vartan movie. After checking all the choices, this movie seemed to be the logical choice of progression. It is the movie right after NBK and it is a romantic comedy. I must say Michael Vartan is fine in this movie, the city of New York is a great location, but there were definite challenges watching this movie. The main problem is in the script, some of the lines are laughable but in the wrong way. There were only a few moments when I could get into this film, it never captured me emotionally to get into the characters or to understand why the characters were feeling the way they were feeling. I think there should have been more development scenes for me to experience that. This is not the worst film ever made, how could it be with Michael Vartan in it. It simply could have been better than it was. The writer had some good ideas here but couldn't quite reach the goal. It had the faint reminders of "Serendipity" and "Sleepless in Seattle". I would only recommend this movie to those of us who simply need another Michael Vartan movie to experience.

I rented this movie because I was big Michael Vartan fan and was shocked to see that they were able make him look very unattractive and unappealing. Didn't know you could do that to a guy. It was easy to make Natasha's character look unattractive - her 80's hairstyle looked bad even in the 80s and her clothes were frumpy. She is great looking and so is he; why the ugly duckling transformation? I didn't see any sparks between them (perhaps the actors couldn't see past the bad makeup, hair and clothing either) and was very disappointed with the movie. If anyone plans to see this, I would suggest being familiar with how the actors actually look (both very hot!) and then watch the movie without your glasses/contacts. I won't even go into the strange accent of the best girlfriend, Olivia D'Abo...
