Summary: Chick flick that gives chick flicks a bad image
Review: After becoming Michael Vartan's devoted fan, I began looking for any films which would enable me to receive a dose of visual stimulation. Luckily I have Alias to fall back on to erase the filthy residue this horrible movie has left on Vartan's image. I completely agree with one of the viewers who mentioned that the movie is composed of a flimsy and predictable plot and a very sour dialogue. The characters were painfully one-dimensional. The Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf have more chemistry than Vartan and Natasha. Most of the time my skin crawled at the cheesy moments and fake displays of emotions. I was embarrassed for the director and the actors and wished that some force would save it somehow but to no avail, it just plummeted with a nasty squeal.

There are plenty of horrible romantic comedies, as well as really delicious ones. The pitiful thing is that movies like this atrocity give chick flicks such a bad reputation. "Roman Holiday" was a great romantic film which transcended genders, men and women equally enjoyed the magical film, great acting, engaging plot, juicy dialogue and intense chemistry. But then movies such as this one come along, and anyone with a craving for something magical just rejects the possibility of a romantic content with style. The only consolation was Vartan's good looks for an hour. However if that is your goal watch the 3 seasons of Alias, he's a lot more fun to watch and to listen to. Stay away from this terrible movie, lifetime channel offers similarly idiotic movies for free.

Summary: A film for the old romantic - Hankies ready girls?
Review: Anna and Charlie meet up by chance on the weekend they are both organising their own marriages. Things take their course, as they decide to help each other with their plans. Pretty soon cupid lets fly with the arrows....they realise that there is such a thing as 'Love at first sight'!!!

Natasha Henstridge (Species) and Joseph Baldwin (Another Baldwin Brother?) star in this romantic comedy that is sure to play with your heart strings!!

Summary: Surprisingly Bad
Review: Being a die hard fan of ALIAS and Michael Vartan, I was on the search for any Michael Vartan movies, and stumbled upon this. To be honest I was quite disappointed in this movie. The script is so old and has nothing new to offer. The only redeeming quality was Micheal Vartan and even he couldn't carry this movie. He had nothing to play off of and it clearly showed since the movie went straight to video... So I would say skip it, unless you are a huge, I mean HUGE fan of Michael Vartan and just want to see him for an hour an half.

Summary: Better than expected
Review: I can't get enough of this guy! Why he doesn't get more work I'll never know. The scene in the park, when both have eyes closed and he says "Come with me" and takes her hand.....I melted like ice cream on a hot day! Takes me back to my favorite scene in "Moonstruck" during the opera. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I felt it needed a "love scene." Don't shoot me, it's just an opinion, okay? Besides, it would have given me a chance to see Vartan with his shirt off! Final words: it ended with my favorite song! If you've ever been in love, you HAVE to see this movie.

Summary: Better than expected
Review: I just rented this for 99cents, expecting this to be some corny, silly movie, probably with people lying or deceiving one another (which is so common in movies lately)in order to fall in love, yet I was so surprised to find a very sweet, serious, romantic movie - not alot of comedy, but that was fine. I thought the characters were great - their personalities fit there actions - it wasn't a "You've got Mail" but I don't think they were going for the "Romantic Comedy" necessarily. Just a clean, sweet, honest movie. I really appreciated that they got together without dishonesty. Oh, yes, it had two love stories in it -- that even made it better!! I loved it... enuf to buy it!!! I think I like it equally as much as "You've Got Mail."

Summary: A TOTAL Chick Flick Alright!
Review: I saw this movie on the television and I just had to buy the DVD. I am such a sucker for romantic movies like this because we all know that in real life, do you think such a thing will ever happen to all of us? Anyway, this is the sort of movie which you want to watch over and over again with your girl friends and be in tears together. Yes, I was in tears during that Central Park scene when she parted from him. And... Michael Vartan.... I am totally in love with him. A true romantic leading man! Yes, this movie is predictable! yes, it is corny! Yes, it is such a fairy tale but you still have to watch it!!! it will just melt your heart away. This movie is up there in my list of romantic movies like Four Weddings, While you were sleeping & Jerry Maguire.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Kinda Cheesy
Review: I thought the movie had a good plot, but the writing was terrible! It was totally unrealistic - they meet and fall in love in like 2 days...i know its supposed to be "love at first sight" but they both don't get married because of some person they met over the weekend. The only reason to see it is because MICHAEL VARTAN is in it. Overall, if you have nothing else to watch, watch it. but don't watch this instead of another movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Old fashion Romantic movie for the family !
Review: I thought this was a throw back to the old days. I enjoyed being able to watch the film with my kids who are teenagers and my wife and not have to feel uncomfortable about the typical bathroom humor you find filmmakers lowering themselves to do inorder to get a cheap life. It was a touching little film, fun moments and it sent a nice message. Mostly what I enjoyed was the fact that even in a genre that has been done a thousand times the writer thought of a unique way to bring the two stars (Natasha Henstridge and Michael Vartan) back together at the end. If you are not a cynical person you will love this film ... if you are I suggest renting one of those teem movies that have toilet jokes, sight gags and charachters that don't exsist in real life.
