Thanks for the memories!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A light and delightful movie that's satisfying at a perfectly weightless pg-13. Being charming is what this movie does best, but i'd add that it doesn't seem to try or fail to be more important than that. Stylistically, the movie is consistently handled, with scenes that are quick and clever and adorable. We can all maybe admit that Heather Graham knows adorable, but she carries this film in other dramatic regards as well. Gray's relationship with her brother is very sweet, right away... and her attraction to Charlie is touched with a graceful amount of emotion. In my opinion, this is a newbie filmmaker with the editorial delicacy of a veteran. She delivers the right moments at the right times, building the chemistries early and easily. For this alone, six star territory. But here, a simple film with a sure grip on several tricky relationships - and somehow it still finds the recipe for whimsy. This movie runs away with quirky dialogue and a fetching cast... far-fetchedness be damned! Similarly, i loved the dancing and the run-on movie analogies! I think they are successful complements to the script, but they also work as pure indulgences. They are fun and energetic bits that will endear you to a movie that might very well have been another flimsy love-triangle remake. In this film, idiosyncrasies matter! This movie isn't meant to be deep, thank goodness, because it would have lost all of its sitcom mirth.

I wish I'd known more about this movie when I rented it. I'd put it in my queue on the basis of Heather Graham and her strong cred as an actress (IMHO). While parts of the movie were charming, much of the movie felt contrived, undeveloped, or otherwise just boring or predictable. Not to mention the ICK factor of so many people thinking the sibs were a couple... I don't care how big a part of the story line that is, it still felt a bit, um, gross. And Charlie, for a zoologist, she certainly doesn't seem to be very attuned to signals from other Homo sapiens. What was it about her (besides her hotness and some common interests) that made Gray fall for her? The story could have been so much more interesting with a little more depth. High points - Molly Shannon (although I do agree with the reviewer who found her annoying on occasion), the cabbie in drag, and the dance sequences (if Sam & Gray were such great dancers, I wish we'd seen more of that, as the bits we were shown were indeed better than most of the rest of the movie). Could have been better.

After a promising first 25 minutes that makes you feel all warm inside, you're pretty convinced that this will be a great romantic comedy. Then the movie takes a turn for the worse. The warm feeling might still be there, but as others has said: The plot becomes so unbelievable and artificial that it's almost unbearable to watch. The movie gets sped up, and you get the impression that you're either fast forwarding through it, or that the producers decided to fit it in less than 1h40m and had to cut a lot of scenes out.Realism isn't a goal onto itself, but as a viewer, I'm pretty convinced that this comedy isn't intentionally unrealistic, it just happens to be.On the plus side, this movie has a couple of nice interiors, and despite the bad script, I think that the actors performances are mainly good. If I could rate the first 25 minutes only, I'd probably give it an eight. As it is now, it gets a four. ...And that's being nice! If you're a sucker for romantic comedies you'll probably have a great time anyways. If not, I'd recommend that you watch something else.

Otherwise it is one of the worst movies I've ever seen - and I mean ever. My wife and I were both bored out of our minds within 10 minutes. Not to mention being boring, it is entirely unbelievable. Women (non-lesbian) don't bathe together - nor do they "accidentally" kiss. Brothers and sisters don't live together well into their 30s and run around swing dancing together and engaging in footraces in central park. Men don't find out their wife and sister romantically kissed the night before the wedding and then never discuss it with said wife. Absolutely ridiculous.Heather Graham is possibly the worst actress in films today. She smiles when she should be crying and vice versa. The only movie she has ever been good in is Boogie Nights - and that is because she wasn't acting.I cannot stress enough how bad this movie was.
