Factual errors: The symposium is supposed to take place on April 1 and at the first "meeting of the minds", Catherine suggests to Edward that he deliver his theory at the symposium "four days from now". But, at the beginning of the movie the trees are in full blossom, far too early for New Jersey.

Love at first sight causes wrenchturner's heart to flutter

Fairly good romantic comedy in which I don't think I've ever seen Meg looking any cuter. All the players did a good job at keeping this a lively romp. Of course, in the real world no genius mathematician would even glance at some grease monkey, but that is why I love romantic comedies....one can just totally forget reality and have a good time. Nice film. Damn, Meg is a babe, eh?
