I rented this movie because I love Matthew Perry. But even he couldn't save this. The script was bad; all the jokes fell completely flat, there was no character development at all ,and there wasn't really any explanation for why Neve Campbell liked either one of the guys since they never really talked and when they did it was about meaningless things.

I rented this movie because I was looking for something to scare me. Although the scary parts were few they were good and suspenseful and the rest of the plot held it up very well. It was what I would call a coming of age film, in which a little girl who "hates boys" falls in love. I would have changed the ending (even though it's not really that bad.)

This movie seems as if someone had a cute idea for a movie, thought of two or three funny possibilities, hired a good cast, then turned the whole thing over to a really bad screenwriter and even worse director. The director filmed a screwball romantic comedy as if it were a dark, artsy film---weird camera angles, blue filtered shots, lingering, close up looks at raindrops. Steve Zahn was good, as always. Ben Affleck was charming, sweet, almost shy; he was perfect for a romantic comedy. Sandra Bullock struggled along valiantly with a character who was supposed to be zany, but whose wackiness consisted of things like madly kissing a husband she hated, abandoning her child, going on carnival rides, offering to strip for money, and bumming a ride with a fellow airline passenger. The script had very few funny lines; there was no physical comedy; it was boring. It introduced potentially funny situations, then cut them off before they could develop. To top it all off, the "twist" at the end was a slap in the face to anyone expecting a fun romantic comedy. If you saw the trailer for the movie and liked it, as I did, my advice is: don't go to the movie. It will only spoil a nice trailer.
