Isabelle's life revolves around the New York bookshop where she works and the intellectual friends of both sexes she meets there.

She, however, is irritated by the whole business--at first. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

| Goofs | The synopsis of Anton's new book, visible when he signs an autograph, is clearly a summary of the story of this film (or the original play), mentioning Isabelle, her job, her grandmother, etc. If that was indeed the story of that book, Isabelle would have had some stern comments for Anton when she read it.

Marilyn Cohen:
And I'm sitting there, and my *face* is starting to hurt. And I'm thinking, Christ, I got 45 minutes to show this guy how loving, smart, supportive, funny, independent, and sexy I am. And all I can really think about is how I'd rather be sitting home watching the baseball game. See more » |
