Too stringy and disjointed for its sporadic charms to amount to much.

A screenplay as vibrant with original comedy as it is with local color.

While Stevenson's film unwinds along familiar lines, it delivers unexpected charm.

[Director Rick] Stevenson brings a romantic heart to the slyly underplayed offbeat humor and inspired sight gags.

I liked this film, but I wouldn't call it it a dark comedy - its a romantic comedy that gets a little preachy. It is also obvious that the filmmaker loves Seattle and wanted feature every little tidbit he could. Aside from the beginning and the ending, the movie isn't bad. It did make me laugh some, so I guess it did its job.
