Synopsis: Like most single women, Martha Alston is looking for her soulmate. She thinks she finds him in Whitman Crawford, a handsome, charming man who -- at first -- appears to be Mr. Right. But before you... Like most single women, Martha Alston is looking for her soulmate. She thinks she finds him in Whitman Crawford, a handsome, charming man who -- at first -- appears to be Mr. Right. But before you can say "Fatal Attraction," Whit begins exhibiting very disturbing behavior, such as shoplifting for the fun of it, and deliberately breaking his finger to prove his love for Martha. Naturally Martha backs off, but unfortunately, Whit is now obsessively in love with her. As a result, he becomes a perpetual presence in her life, with his bizarre antics causing her constant chaos and embarrassment. How far will Martha go to rid herself of Mr. Wrong? And how far will Whit go to prove he's the man of her dreams? [More]

A tiresome, awkwardly directed farce that squanders the talents of its appealing stars. Full Review |

The hip, smart yarn has a bite not seen in American movies since The War of the Roses. Full Review |

Charming and funny Ellen DeGeneres made her big-screen leap--make that 'dive'--in this most uncharming and unfunny black comedy. Full Review |

So-so, forgettable De Generes-Pullman vehicle.

Likeable performers mired in a laugh-free comedy zone.

Fascinating in retrospect as a lesbian's take on dating men.

A dreadful movie. Full Review |
|||
|
Pullman, often cast as The Nice Guy, has fun playing the heel, but due to the writing we don't get to share in the fun very much. Full Review |

Bill Pullman is always a pleasure, but not even his fantastically dry wit can salvage this slow-motion train wreck. Full Review |

|
There are places where even Matheson and Castle seem ill-at-ease with their own premise, as if they are trying to make both a dark satire and a bright, light comedy. The result is like oil and water. Full Review |
