Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck are among the most handsome stars working in Hollywood today and both have proved themselves adept at the romantic comedy genre (she in While You Were Sleeping, he in the superb Chasing Amy). However, they fail to find the requisite chemistry in this otherwise pleasant enough movie — Affleck is fine as the strait-laced groom-to-be who has a Planes, Trains and Automobiles-style trip to his wedding, but Bullock is a little miscast as the quirky gal he hooks up with, who may tempt him away from his waiting bride (played with poignant sincerity by Maura Tierney). That said, the supporting cast (including the fabulous Steve Zahn as Affleck's gormless pal) works hard, and the film does have occasional moments of charm. It's amusing, but not as good as it could have been.

Trivial attempt at a screwball comedy, one that lacks any kind of sparkle or wit despite its engaging stars.

This film was great, i dont usually like Ben Affleck and rented it for the Wonderfull Sandra Bullock. But i have to say i thought Ben was great in it. The storyline was amusing and the ending was much better than expected. Not cheesy at all. I would say a chick flick but my hubbie liked it to.

AAAA- MAZING!!!!!!

I Pressed the repeat button as soon as the film started showing the Credits, i had to watch it twice in one night. If you thought you had problems,wait till you see the ones Sandra Bullock and the lead experience in this film, your problems will become lighter, do see a psychoanalyst if you are not moved from beginning to the end of this film.

Bullock is at her best when playing kooky, quirky, sassy girls; and this performance is no exception. A fun film with many twists.

This film starts out well enough:

Ben (Affleck) is going to fly down to Savannah to get married. His fear of flying is not

helped by the fact that the plane has to make a forced landing before it's even completed

its take-off. With the shortage of rental cars, he ends up sharing with Sarah (Bullock), a

fellow passenger. After a couple of other disasters, they end up in the middle of

nowhere.

In order to get a lift, Sarah asks Ben to lie about who he is. This is where things start

getting bad. You have the inevitable twists and coincidences at which point I gave up

watching.
