Well, I don�t. Love dogs, that is. I like them fine as long as they�re not bigger than I am, but they�re not my number one choice for a pet. I�m more of a cat person. Yes, dogs have owners and cats have staff, but cats are very cool, laid back animals and that suits my personality a little more than a hyperactive canine. But I digress.
Yet another of these who-isn�t-in-this movies. The credits list Stockard Channing as a cast member, but she�s nowhere to be found in the trailer. Elizabeth Perkins is in this, who I love. Most women will flock to this to see Dermot Mulroney, but the rest of us are going to see John Cusack. The man has aged well, that�s for damn sure. What is it that men can get better looking as they age, but women can�t? WTF? Life isn�t fair. But I digress.
The plot seems to be a straightforward plot consisting of girl just gets out of long-term relationship, girl finds boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy back. Where was this movie on Valentine�s Day when I needed a dose of John Cusack? It will be a welcome change of pace from all the summer bangs and booms, although you may still hear them through the walls of the theater while you�re watching this movie. It runs the risk of becoming just another romantic comedy unless there�s a special chemistry between Diane Lane and John Cusack or there�s a special twist somewhere. |
