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 Apr 18, 2003 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times It's tolerable but forgettable. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2003 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Not exactly terrible, merely stale and pointless. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2003 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Simultaneously nakedly formulaic and oddly clumsy. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2003 Full Review Chuck Wilson 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. Apr 17, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
