“Honest. Unpredictable… not neat and tidy like many romantic comedies. Outside of one Steely Dan song, the soundtrack makes the movie feel a bit slow– however… the one liners make up for it. Carter (Grace) has one line to Alex (Johannson) while in her dorm room that is just awesome… think As Good as it Gets awesome… will purchase this one… It had a Good Will Hunting (one of my faves) feel to it… those are rare. Great date movie as well. It is more than a renter. See this one in the theater. Simply put, a great flick. It is so often that one (me anyway) sits in a theater able to predict the next line, action, etc. It is refreshing to walk away satisfied with an ending one could not have guessed.”
