This movie lost a star because, in truth, I found Marisa Tomei's character to be a bit over the top.  She believes in fate, and that a ouji game when she was eleven proffered the name of her future husband.  And so many years later, she ends up all the way in Rome to find the man with this name -- the man of her dreams. (By this time she's engaged, but the guy is schmuck, so it's really not important).
