This story had originality in the oft told, "boy loses girl by being stupid and gets her back in the end" idea. However, the rehashed idea limits it. That is not the only problem.
You can see that maybe there was a "good movie" possibility, but in the end you have a mostly maudlin story with a happy ending. It just feels like it needed more time in the creative process. Maybe limited money?
Do not take this as a complete waste of time. You do feel for the characters, such as Mick Jagger asking the trick he has fallen in love with to marry, or watching Andy Garcia's future seemingly disintegrate. However, there does not seem a balance, too maudlin.
Watch this to see what could have been. It could have been...a contender?
