This is hands down the best performance from Brendan Fraser EVER. He makes his "odd" character likable and charming, which was a big surprise...he's usually way too over the top for me. The movie has some slow moments (like most of the scenes involving Joanna Going's character and a Spanish dude, and some other girl who always shows her cleavage) but other than that the flick flows nicely. It's pretty low budget, but the score really makes you feel like you're watching a bigger movie - the score helps many moments in the film. The best thing about the movie is how it handles love and romance, which is done in a very subtle, methodical fashion that makes you really understand and associate with the characters. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for a different type of romantic comedy.
