Movie Info

Co-star Denis Leary co-wrote the script for this romantic comedy-drama. Leary plays Frank O'Brien, a no-class, small-time hood who is the boyfriend of Roz (Sandra Bullock), a cashier with a New York Jewish background who dreams of settling down and having kids. Roz wants out of the relationship but is fearful to break up. On a Friday, she accompanies Frank as he steals a painting. He tells her that it's his last job as a thief. Frank plans the delivery for Sunday evening so that they can turn the job into a getaway weekend. They go to a New England town and break into a huge home; the owners are on vacation. A sophisticated neighbor, Evan Marsh (Stephen Dillane), believes that they are friends of the owners' children and invites them to a party. Evan is an upper-class bachelor and is attracted to Roz. Roz goes horseback riding and boating with him, pretending a sophistication she doesn't possess, while Frank fumes at the rich rival. Meanwhile, Frank's crime boss Beano (Wayne Robson) learns that the painting Frank has stolen is a four-million-dollar Matisse and comes to the town with three henchmen. They are pursued by Detective O'Malley (Yaphet Kotto), who is trying to find a mysterious master art thief.

[An] aimless romantic-comedy caper.

A good little movie -- emphasis on 'little.'

It's disappointing to see Bullock reduced to rolling her eyes, putting her hand up and saying 'Talk to the hand' like a guest on Ricki Lake.

Completely lifeless, with zero chemistry between the leads.

Jul 22, 2004 | Rating: 1/5
Capital Times (Madison, WI)

A relentlessly dreary and drippy romantic comedy cooked up for those who like their intimacy served with transparent schmaltz

Sinks even before it gets started

Pretty cheesy, but I like both Leary and Bullock, so it was worth a watch. It wasn't horrible - entertaining enough.

Fans of Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary are likely to be the only ones who can enjoy this movie. I am both, so I did. Apart from its stars, there is little special about this movie. It had its moments, but doesn't stand out.
