A friend of mine who also likes John Cusack movies told me to check this one out, that I'd like it a lot. Maybe I tried too hard, because the movie fell short of capturing me. Granted, I'm bitter and cynical about love, but some movies can "break" me, as it were. It was almost as if the plot created a relationship that was improbable in its conception, but got a little too good. They had to slap together a way to make that mid-film falling out, and it didn't quite work. The controversy with her dad's business created more drama in Diane's life than perhaps it should have, and created an unwanted dragging effect 3/4 of the way through. Not as funny as Cusack's mid-80's outings, but has its moments. Still worth the 3 bucks I paid to rent it. 6/10
