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.

All coy grins and daffy mugging, Mr. Stiller plays the role as if aspiring to become the Elliott Gould of his generation. Compared with jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, that's a reasonable goal.

If Lucy Fell is funnier more often than not, and when it's not being funny it's at least being strange. I'll take strange over what most major-distributor comedies are when they're not being funny.

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

This has to be the dumbest movie I have ever seen! It was hard for me to sit through it and I even asked if I could get my money back because it was such a terrible movie! It dragged, the acting was lame and the storyline was ridiculous!! I am a movie enthusiast and a Sex in the City fan, however, this movie made me angry that I had wasted 90 minutes of my life!

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

This movie is ok. Not as bad as the tomato score makes it look. I really liked the Bwick scenes.

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.
