Quotes:

Maggie: Well, that is, without a doubt, the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
Sam: You don't understand...
Maggie: And I don't mean that in a trivial way. I'm a photographer, I've seen a lot of things. I once took pictures of a man who ate his own legs, and you would be the black sheep of that family.

this is funny

this is really funny, all the meg ryan fans who are used to her usual 'romantic movies' void of any substance hate this movie, while i have seen the first movie with meg ryan where i actually thought she was a good actor. i know i would not say this about meg ryan (not because she isn't as she clearly demonstrates she can act in this movie) but because she normally plays in worse-then-juliaroberts movies. Sugarsweet bs movies about nothing.

And now finally she plays in a good almost great movie and that unfortunately also the last one she did ?? It's really a shame she doesn't play in more of such movies.
