Trivia:
Jonathan (John Cusack) tells Sara about the constellation Cassiopeia. In the movie The Sure Thing (1985), Cusack's character also tells the love interest (Alison) about Cassiopeia. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The constellation Sara calls Cassiopeia is not Cassiopeia. It's the wrong shape and the wrong number of stars, and Cassiopeia is not so close to zenith in the fall and winter skies. more
Quotes:
Dean: I hate to break up a good thing, but we have half a dozen strippers waiting for us, we're late.
Halley: You mean exotic dancers?
Dean: No, I actually mean strippers.

Trust in fate...it will take you where it wants to., 29 September 2002
4/10
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

Not exactly a new story line, but this romantic comedy makes the concept work. A young man(John Cusack) and a drop dead gorgeous woman(Kate Beckinsale)keep meeting by chance and wonder if they are meant for each other. Although both are promised to others...oddly enough they still feel that their soul mate is out there somewhere. A little sappy in some places, but viva la love. Being a romantic I am almost obligated to be riveted. My favorite scene is where Cusack is on the ground and snow starts falling. The finale is almost too sweet, but most deserving. This is not one of Cusack's deeper roles, but who in the hell could not be smitten by Beckinsale. Notable support is provided by Jeremy Piven and Molly Shannon. John Corbett plays the worst role I've ever seen him in. On the other hand Eugene Levy is quirky and funny. Watch this with your soul mate.
