Best friends and roommates Joe (Eric Schaeffer) and Lucy (Sarah Jessica Parker) have never been lucky in love. Believing true romance is not in the cards for them, the friends make a pact -- if they haven't found meaningful relationships by Lucy's birthday, in one month, they will jump off the Brooklyn Bridge together. But it isn't until they actually find themselves in the very relationships they thought they wanted that Joe and Lucy realize that maybe they had their priorities all wrong.

A bleak, annoyingly quirky Gen-X recasting of the When Harry Met Sally notion that true love is based on friendship.

These writer-director-actors seem to want to make movies just so they can be cuddly in them.

Clever, fun and touching. Eric Schaeffer is hilarious. One of my favorite romantic comedies from the 90's.

A fun hidden treasure of the 90s featuring Sarah Jessica Parker. An expected comedy of laughs. Dont expect much and then youll find urself pleasantly surprised :)

Generic and uninspired, If Lucy Fell is stereotypical rom-com tripe. The story follows two friends that make a death pact to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if they haven't turned around their romantic fortunes in 28 days. Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Eric Schaeffer, Ben Stiller, and Elle Macpherson, the cast is fairly good and gives decent performances. But the writing is extremely poor, and is just one cliche after another. If Lucy Fell is a by the book romantic comedy that has some charm, but no originality or heart.
