This movie was very much about character development, and people growing through situations that could easily occur. Even the narrator played by Bray Poor (the Asshole') grew from being a non-caring jerk to being someone with feelings who took some honorable actions. Ron Livingston, the lead, did a fine job of making the guy believable without using any of the over-the-top cliched actions or situations some many other movies might use. He made you care about him and his plight without being a total dork. Amanda Peet was, as usual, just hot as hell but it was Cara Buono who stole the screen. Okay, I admit it, she's a girl I could see myself falling for madly just as ... (oops, don't want to spoil the movie for the rest of you who haven't seen it.) All in all, a really great romantic movie. Definitely in my top 100.
