Quotes:

Rebecca:
The best place to meet a guy is at the supermarket. You don't need to waste a lot of time there, either. You see a guy holding a list, you know he's married. He's in the frozen food section carrying a small basket, he's single. I like to hang out by fruits and vegetables, there's a better chance of getting a guy who's healthy.

The film seemed to have potential, two great stars, Diane Lane and John Cusack, a contemporary topic full of comic and heartfelt pitfalls, internet dating, and of course man's best friend. However a horrid script full of nothing but clichés, insipid lifeless dialog, tepid chemistry between the actors who seem to be sleep walking just to get through the dismal production yielded a film so awful both my girlfriend and I wondered why we didn't have the common sense to turn it off. Perhaps the fact that every 20 minutes or so there would be a mildly charming moment seduced us into believing the film might deliver which sadly it never did.
