Audience Member Only two things are important to Charlie - traffic and Amy (Anne Heche). Somehow these two things are at loggerheads with each other, and Charlie keeps losing Amy. All in all, the story is not that entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member cute romantic comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't THAT great of a film. The plot was a bore, the acting was too fake, and it was just cheesy. There were some cute moments though. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member In spite of John Goodman's presence in this film, I quite enjoyed it when I saw it. It's a sweet film that actually does well to inspire the viewer a little to follow their own dreams. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member back when anne was still straight so it was convincing Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why, but I love this movie. Boy loves traffic, girl loves dance. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl movies away and joins expiramental dance troupe. Boy follows his passion for congestion until he stumbles across girl. Ahh..the simple times = ) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
