We've all seen romantic comedies where the couple has a big fight that lasts the whole movie and then make up. This movie throws in a subplot about Brad Pitt on a mission to retrieve a gun that is less than entertaining. Julia Roberts is real cute and a good choice for the role, but it's hardly the most intelligent script. The only thing that stands out is James Gandolfini. When movie stars break out, they take roles that they were meant to play. Then they start going for what they consider "creative" moves which are really ridiculous. That's why DeNiro ended up in Rocky and Bullwinkle and Christopher Walken in Blast From The Past. Well, one day Gandolfini will be making those movies and people will say, "Why can't he go back to playing a gangster which he does so well?" Well, this is one of those movies that they will be speaking about. True Romance is another one. Go see this movie not for Pitt or Roberts, but for Gandolfini who is right now at his prime.
