This is one of those prefabricated romantic comedies without surprises. Although it has a lot of talented actors, they aren't straining themselves here. The dialog has the kind of forced cleverness that is usually restricted to self-important TV sitcoms. Although Diane Lane does a pretty good Mary Tyler Moore impression, I guess. John Cusack sleepwalks through the whole thing. There are a couple of laughs, but not enough to make it worth renting.
