A tired piece of romantic cornball fare that harks back to a bygone era, the film is a badly conceived, poorly executed fairy tale guaranteed to make audiences squirm in their seats.

Two young, upwardly mobile Angelenos lead separate lives destined to intersect--he's a standoffish architect and pathological liar looking out for number one, and she's a wistful, incurably romantic ghost writer looking for Mr. Right. She loves her ornate Gothic apartment building; he's been hired to raze it and replace it with postmoderny angular condos.

Reviews for 'Til There Was You
Tripplehorn and McDermott are likable enough in their roles, but Holzman's precious, overwritten script gives them few genuinely honest moments.
Here is the most tiresome and affected movie in many a moon, a 114-minute demonstration of the Idiot Plot, in which everything could be solved with a few well-chosen words that are never spoken.
