Wonderful character development!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Implausible betting, especially the way the script brings it and the performers and the play make it. A few twists of the plot may attract some interest, but overall, the film is perfectly stupid, "eau de rose", despite his unrealistic disguise behind NY American artists. Some gags are trying to make us believe that nothing is serious there, but the insistence of the scenario, the traditional Disney-type music of U.S. cinema, relentlessly trying to highlight ten times with bold lines all the time any love emotion when it is supposed to be present. We feel that it addresses an audience which it does not think too much good about its ability to feel and judge for itself, or is it because if fear of misinterpretation or direction that would betray the intentions of the writer, the author. Why such a thick layer of musical peanut butter (brain?). Sarah Jessica is doing its best, obviously, but has not yet be seen out of the cart of the series B… Scenario is rather confused, message stinks the scent of rosewater usual easy clichés. Not much to be grabbed out of this, in my opinion.

This is one of the better examples of how Hollywood have lost their edge, and how easy it is to make a romantic comedy. The plot is uninspired, the acting is unimpressive, the characters are poorly written and uninteresting, and the pacing is just awful. It goes too far for laughs, that never actually come. Ben Stiller is unfunny, and the rest of the cast are uninspired. Even Sarah Jessica Parker, who usually makes even the least entertaining film passable. The clichés are all there: best friends who should be together but can't see it, the main guy is infatuated with someone who doesn't know that he exists, etc. No new ideas or even semi-interesting presentation of old stuff. Parker plays a therapist, and I couldn't help but think of how happy I am that I don't have a therapist like that. She should seriously be fired, and have a letter of... uh... un-recommendation written that should be mandatory reading for every future possible boss. Yes, she's that bad. There's a scene of her giving children advice, and she charges them. She takes the money of young children... I'll let that sink in. Both of the main characters are annoying and at times despicable, so I suppose they fit together quite nicely. One final criticism: why is it, that no Hollywood film can contain a favorable of an artist, particularly a painter? Here he's presented as a childish, eccentric moron. Is that supposed to be funny? Final thought: only reason to see this film is to see the young and (already then) talented actress Scarlett Johansson in a very little role as a young child. I recommend this to women who don't care about the quality of romantic comedies and no one else. In fact, I urge you to avoid this at any and all cost, if you don't belong to aforementioned group. Yes, it's that bad. Believe me. 1/10

This film is probably one of my all time favorites (well, I got many favorites). Sarah Jessica Parker and Eric Schaeffer is best mates and makes a deal. If none of them aren't in a serious relationship by the age of 30 - they both kill them self by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge.The script is charming, beautiful and witty - the picturesque quality is good. Ben Stiller plays a quirky artist, the small kids in the part are real charming - and director/writer/actor Eric Schaeffer does a wonderful job as the ever so eccentric "Joe".Elle McPherson and James Rebhorn also stars in this movie, that is a real gemstone. The now dissolved American alternative rock band "Marry Me Jane" has the beautiful score and film music.All in all, 9/10 - very charming

Although this is only a so-so romcom, i feel that it is entirely worth watching for two important reasons, and for these reasons, i truly enjoy this film. One, it is about as early 90s as a movie can get. Case and point, Schaeffer's character, an artist is as often as not seen wearing a dress. Why people in the early 90s thought this was an okay look for guys is beyond me. Second, and more importantly, in my opinion, this is one of Stiller's best performances to date. There is nothing that Bwick does that does not make me laugh out loud. (eg. "I. . . art?") Additionally, Elle Macpherson is insanely hot, which doesn't hurt the film.
