Two young, upwardly mobile Angelenos lead separate lives destined to intersect--he's a standoffish architect and pathological liar looking out for number one, and she's a wistful, incurably romantic ghost writer looking for Mr. Right. She loves her ornate Gothic apartment building; he's been hired to raze it and replace it with postmoderny angular condos. The two stumble through a maze of near-misses and contrived coincidences on the rocky road to romance. A first feature for director Winant, formerly a producer for TV's "My So-Called Life"; that show's creator, Winnie Holzman, penned. [More]

Winnie Holzman's screenplay is uneven.

It is so poorly executed that if you didn't know going in that these two were supposed to meet, you'd never figure out what the movie is about.

Here is the most tiresome and affected movie in many a moon, a 114-minute demonstration of the Idiot Plot, in which everything could be solved with a few well-chosen words that are never spoken.

Tripplehorn and McDermott don't look as if they belong together and aren't strong enough actors to overcome their physical incompatibility. So there's no sense of urgency about them getting together.

The fatal flaw comes with the casting of the romantic leads, and for once the problem isn't that they don't belong together. You're just not likely to care one way or the other.

With dialog like this why did the producers go forward with this project? The movie needs a rewrite and a new director.
