Steve Zahn carries this movie. The two main character's interactions would be unbelievable much of the time, but Zahn manages to sell it. Unfortunately the plot goes from extremely hard to believe, to just plain silly.
Despite a lame plot and bad writing, Zahn shines as the desperately in love protagonist. He's so convincing and endearing that you're rooting for him to succeed. But all the while there's a script running in the back of your brain telling you how stupid the premise is. Aniston's comedic talents were somewhat lacking in this film, but her character was not very well developed by the writers. One moment she's a vulnerable sweet lonely lady and then next she's a bitchy head case. But Aniston as usual is always adequate in the romantic comedy genre. I would have loved to have seen these two paired in a better story.

Family TV night always includes House, MD. Luckily with TIVO we can re-wind whenever someone in the family inevitably blabs commentary out during the show.
We never had to touch the TIVO while this episode played out. Everyone kept their pie holes shut and that's saying quiet a lot when you have teenagers about you.
The quiet held until the very end of the show, and for several minutes afterward. That just doesn't happen in our boisterous family.
In the silence, my husband and I held each other for a long time. Only fantastic theater can grab and hold you like that. TV just doesn't get better.

Have insomnia? This "movie" is the cure. If I were Jesse, I'd claw my way out of my Missouri or Texas or wherever grave and go after everyone involved in this film in a zombie like fashion. Hey! There's a story line that might actually become a watchable film.
The only rational explanation I can find for this film is that the makers are out to prove that we are all in the same snore fest boat--life is a bore, your life, my life, their life, his life, etc. . .so go on--get to sleep and get it over with.
Oops, I guess I can't get my comment submitted until I say something else about this film. Right now I just need to take a nap.
