Title: The nicest piece of romantic fluff in years.
Product review: Sure, it stretches credibility some, but it's sort of supposed to. All the talk of Fate and Destiny at work in a movie that demonstrates that there is no such thing as a coincidence. It's supposed to be far-fetched, and you're supposed to go along with it.Assuming you do, you'll have a wonderful time, because this one's put together very, very well. Fine performances from Cusack and Beckinsale in the leads are nearly lost amid the excellent performance by the supporting cast: Jeremy Piven as the loquacious obituary-writer-best-man, Molly Shannon as the oddly "earthbound" new-ager, Eugene Levy as the obstinate store clerk, John Corbett as the free-spirited musician boyfriend, and even a small, uncredited cameo appearance from Buck Henry.To describe the plot at all is to do this film a disservice. Take it from me: if you like romantic comedies and you can play along with the premise (which isn't that big a stretch, really), you'll enjoy this film very much.
