Reviews
While I wouldn't say it revolutionizes the chick flick, it's certainly more clever and endurable than most of them.
What makes the movie work is the character of Erin, easily one of the most interesting and involving creations, male or female, of the past year.
Probably the only film you'll see in a long time that affirms solitude as a perfect milieu for nurturing love.
