I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Jennifer Anniston, I thought I might as well give it a try. To be honest, even though she is extremely charming and apparently rather talented, she keeps playing the same role over and over again but, from time to time, very not often though, she comes up in such small indie features so there was a chance that it would be better than her usual fare. Well, even though the whole thing had some potential, it wasn't really good I'm afraid. I mean, Anniston once again didn't really strech her acting skills but that wasn't even the problem. The main issue is that the main character played by Steve Zahn was such a pathetic loser, it was pretty much impossible to root for the guy. At least, Zahn, who is usually rather annoying, should be praised for doing his best with this material and he even managed to make the guy slightly likeable in a few scenes. Unfortunately, the whole idea that those two characters would end up together was just really far-fetched and their journey to get there was certainly not compelling enough. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
