Heather Graham's character is, how should I describe it, think retarded child but with that America?s Top Model fog of competitiveness and tension. She is supposed to have the child like innocence that Julia Roberts uses in all of her performances, walking in the grass barefoot just cause or laughing hysterically on the beach, just cause . . . but here it isn?t quite so poetic.Graham gets drunk after a couple swigs of a hard liquor bottle in the middle of the day and drives recklessly through traffic. She takes off her clothes and bounces on a strange man?s bed because its fun, ?it?s not sexual.? She takes him to yoga classes. Wow, she is just so wacky. You can tell her character was written by the type of girl who religiously watches Sex in the City, compulsively shops for shoes and controls everything in her life right down to the hair on her fat toe. It wasn?t written by someone who knows quirky and spontaneous, and it certainly wasn?t performed by anyone quirky or spontaneous. It is like making a paraplegic swim, why? It is against nature.

I would only give it one star, but because of the performances of Colin Firth and Minnie Driver I give it two.The plot is okay.However, the character Heather Graham plays is immensely annoying and unbelievable, making Colin Firth's character much less likeable because he falls for her and hurting the movie in general.Watch it if you can't find anything better, but only after you've checked all the options.
