My girlfriend made me watch this. In the beginning, I thought it was just the 8976e version of a Hollywood screwball comedy, just another routine with Afleck as Cary Grant and Bullock as Katharine Hepburn. After 30 minutes, I was sure it was a Doris Day & Rock Hudson film. No originality, no surprise, bad script, neutral acting, clichés: just another boring Hollywood formula movie. But I think it's worst, for the values shown here : this is a very very conservative movie, as so many US film of the 1990's. Rich wealthy White American people (who, of course, don't smoke)are into such traditionnals values as marriage as a way of life. Everybody wants to be Pat Boone and Patti Page here, except Miss Bullock, the bad girl who had a divorce, don't live with her husband, ain't a good mother for her kid and, of course, by the end, she's punished because they man she loves decides to decide to marry Patti Page. By the way, my girlfriend enjoys this crap. Now I'm thinking of having another girl friend...
