Their former youth soccer coach has died, and friends Celeste (Fay Masterson), Marie (Julia Sawalha), Lisa (Julie Bowen) and Kay (Daniela Lunkewitz), now in their mid-20s, reunite to attend the funeral. Hovering in the background is Kay's mother, Emily (Lynn Redgrave), an amateur astrologer who believes a forthcoming planetary alignment will yield romance for her daughter. On cue, handsome newcomer Cody (Michael Weatherly) starts acting like an acceptable suitor.

Lou Lumenick

New York Post

A mild cross between The Big Chill and Sex and the City, this English-language German oddity is a romantic comedy passing through on its way to video.

Rated: 1.5/4

Not exactly terrible, merely stale and pointless.

TV Guide

Simultaneously nakedly formulaic and oddly clumsy.

L.A. Weekly

Sometimes the predictability of a romantic comedy is reassuring, and sometimes it makes you want to scream, as with this witless wonder.
