It was with this flick that Julia Roberts really launched her career. It was her first starring role and I must say, after seeing it again, it was better than I thought. I mean, it is a rather standard romantic-comedy but I thought it was well-made and the characters were just really well set. I mean, for once, they don't have a fancy creative job, no, they work in a pizzeria, even though they ma... read more

Directed by Donald Petrie (Grumpy Old Men, The Favor) this is a story that portrays a minority group, as normal people. I got the tape because of Julia Roberts, and to my surprise there was this wedding with this man singing in Portuguese. I went like what!!! I understand this: Oh, this is Portuguese! What a pleasant surprise! The Luso-Portuguese is nice and Lili Taylor (Born on the Fourth of July... read more

What a pleasant surprise! The Luso-Portuguese is nice and Lili Taylor (Born on the Fourth of July), Jojo, singing a lullaby to a child is just a sweet moment.

Annabeth Gish (Beautiful Girls, Nixon) is Kat the intelligent sister who is going to Yale who also babysits. Jojo, who is my favorite character, and Daisey, Julia Robe” read more

I mean, for once, they don't have a fancy creative job, no, they work in a pizzeria, even though they make it look way more interesting than it must be in real like but that's something inherent to this genre. Furthermore, I really have a weak spot for Lili Taylor and, as usual, she was just spellbinding to watch and even though, I'm not a big fan of Julia Roberts, she was just really charming here. To conclude, it is nothing mindblowing whatsoever but it is still a very well-made and entertaining r” read more
