Summary: Drew in 1997
Review: If you liked Drew Barrymore in her Mad Love punk phase, than I suggest you rent this movie. Drew fans won't be disappointed, she is featured more in this film unlike her other current direct-to-video Best Men. She's one of the main characters, however this movie is told from three different characters, so you have to wait for Drew in the second act to tell her part till you see much of her. And then trust me there's no regrets. She plays a young woman who is trying to contol her destiny to get the man she loves ( James LeGros ), whose girlfriend ( Jennifer Beals ) is possibly cheating on him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good time for Jon Stewart fans--and most other people.
Review: If you want to see a fun romantic comedy, I recommend this movie. After Max (James LeGros) turns down his girlfriend Elizabeth's (Jennifer Beals) idea of marriage, the relationship takes an ugly turn. Max begins to think she is having an affair. This suspicion is strengthened by the testimony of Lena (Drew Barrymore)--who wants to be more than friends with Max--after she confirms that she saw Liz with another man. This movie is also sweetened by the seemingly small role of Jon Stewart (The Daily Show) who delivers great comedy the way only he can.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jon Stewart Needs More Screen Time
Review: Jon Stewart and Drew Barrymore are the reason I bought this film, but I must say Jon is very funny and cute and needs a bigger role. Drew has had lots of practice in the spotlight so give Jon a chance. He can do alot more along with The Daily Show.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: See it for Drew only!
Review: The best part of this movie is Drew Barrymore. I really liked her character, Nina, who was so colorful, fun, flirty and a little schemer. :)This film tried a little too hard to be an "indie" film, told from two sides. It didn't work for me, but maybe it'll work for you.

Summary: Drew was its saving grace.
Review: This film was painful to watch. Thank goodness it is done in three different sections separating the film into the stories of different characters. If I were you, I'd skip the first "chapter" completely and go directly to Drew's character's chapter. No wonder Drew didn't want to make this film! The only reason she was in it was because of the contract she had with Miramax. They are just using her name to sell the film. She made the best of it. And yes, she does shine on screen! Keep a look out for the black and white movie sequence in this film. Hot stuff!

Summary: Simply awful and boring.
Review: This is advertised as a Drew Barrymore movie, but she gets very little screen time. Most of her dialog is trite and it is clear that she is not having much fun. As for being a comedy, I found very little to laugh about, it was just sad and too close to real life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: an artsy creative film
Review: This movie is very creative and entertaining. First time director Adam Park is a talent to watch in the future! Thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what?
Review: This movie was so stupid, everyone listens to Nina when she is clearly messing with their lives. They are stupid enough to believe her, and well I don't even know what else happens cause I saved myself and changed the channel.
