Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When Jeremy and Luther are shopping at Best Buy, the very first shot has a visual in-joke. In the foreground, somewhat out of focus, are row after row of DVD sets for "My So-Called Life" (1994) and "Saturday Night Live" (1975). more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the scene where Mirabelle is at her parents home in Vermont and takes a phone call from Ray, the camera cuts to a shot of her mother sitting at the dining room table. Behind her mother, green, leafy trees are visible through the windows, even though everything outside the house was covered in snow when Mirabelle first entered the house. more
Quotes:
Mirabelle: Ray, why don't you love me? Are you just biding your time with me?
Ray Porter: I thought you understood.
Mirabelle: So, I can either hurt now or hurt later.

Characters that you don't really care about do very little, 25 December 2006
4/10
Author: Alex Sadler from Hong Kong

After reading a review by someone comparing this movie to 'Lost in Translation' and at the time of watching the score for this movie was a healthy 6.8, I decided to rent the movie from the local DVD shop. 'Lost in Trnslation' this movie is not. From the over poetic way Steve Martin reads the brief narrative although he plays a conflicting character in the movie, to the lead role who it is rather difficult to empathise with due to her relationship choices. Nothing much actually happens in this movie. In 'Lost in Translation' nothing really happens in a stylish and interesting way. There is extremely little humour and the relationships that develop between the characters you pretty much feel are their own fault. If you are looking for a Romantic comedy to share a quiet Sunday afternoon with your partner then choose from a wealth of others. A score of 6.8 this movie does not deserve.
