Synopsis
John Cusack and Diane Lane star in this romantic comedy titled after a personal ad on the Internet. Eight months after getting divorced, downtrodden preschool teacher Sarah (Lane) is wary of re-entering the dating pool. Seeing her reluctance as a cry for help, Sarah's large, jovial family plans an intervention. While Sarah does not appreciate being bombarded by photographs and phone numbers of potential mates (half of whom are married), even she can see that her most meaningful relationship should not be with her brother's dog a loveable Newfoundland named Mother Theresa. After Sara answers personal ads with less-than-thrilling results, her sister Carol (Elizabeth Perkins) takes things into her own hands, secretly posting an online-dating profile on Sarah's behalf. In a familiar montage of first-date scenarios, Sarah meets one unappealing prospective bachelor after another: one who can't stop talking about himself, another who can't stop crying, one with an affinity for bondage, etc. But when she meets recently divorced Jake (Cusack), something clicks. While their meeting is somewhat awkward, it makes enough of an impression on Jake that he wants a second chance. From here, the two embark on a clumsy courtship complicated by misunderstandings, mishaps, and another equally charming suitor, Bob (Dermot Mulroney). While doing her best to navigate the unfamiliar world of modern-day romance, Sarah learns that sometimes finding Mr. Right means taking a chance. Christopher Plummer and Stockard Channing are excellent in their respective roles as Sarah's widowed father, Bill, and his new girlfriend (a compulsive Internet-dater) Dolly.

Customer Reviews

CUDDLE UP TOGETHER
A very typical moochy movie, based on the boy meets girl she plays hard to get scenario. Well worth watching, a tad slow in parts but still enough laughs and cute bits to keep you interested.

Romantic comedy special
Until I watched this film I hadn't quite come face to face with my addiciton for trashy romantic comedy. This film was exactly that, a film about people making and not quite managing to make relationships, with many laughs along the way. Full of cliche and fun, I loved it!

Enjoyable
I think this film is quite... decent. If you don't enjoy some bits, you'll enjoy other. And it makes you feel happy, if not hopeful at the chance of a supermarket snog :)
