February 10, 2010Julia Roberts does a great job, but it is a rather predictable love story. It is well enough done, good production values. It?s kind of a twist on ?Love Story?.

January 8, 2009I was pretty young myself when this movie came out but I remember Julia Roberts was "it" at the time. All I remember is that guy from Singles puking his guts out and wearing bandanas.
