Some of the cast later appeared in Jeremy Piven's critically acclaimed TV show, Cupid, Piven and Jeffery Sams, and you instantly see the chemistry between these two actors. Though the story is rather predictable and is slightly lazy of a concept, the movie however is incredibly engaging and fun. The acting is top notch and the chemistry among the characters is top tier.

A classic romantic comedy! You know it's good when you want this badly for the characters to end up together.

A silly and highly improbable film with just enough charm to make it worth watching.

Enjoyable and fun Sunday afternoon cuddle love story intertwined with a satirical look at Hollywood. It was cute. I'd have given it more stars if it wasn't for the awful and cheesy soundtrack throughout.

In this fantasy set in the real world, kind-hearted Amanda is drawn to Harold when he clumsily introduces himself to her while she's eating lunch. The audience can see that she has substance, but all Harold can see is her beauty and his lack thereof.
