watching this tonight....


It was sweet, but I kept talking to the screen, saying she was missing the obvious choice!



How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

It was obvious that would be her choice. Silly how at the end she says she is not a serial dater but was about to contradict herself again, and he says he would not ask her out previously because she was something like fresh out of a relationship or in one, yet he chooses to date her while she is in a wedding dress. Did anything else happen after they walked out of the diner? If shows/movies run over, my dvr misses the endings.

No -- That was pretty much it.

As far as your other point goes, I can see it, but my idea is that this time he had heard basically her whole story, and knows that she realizes she is past making herself over for every guy she meets -- especially the second and third guy.

Though if I were in that position, I would go slow -- make sure she is really ready to be herself, rather than putting up with a player-type, or pretending she likes Proust and jazz and golf!

Agree. Usually, this type of obtuseness on the part of the heroine would have ruined the movie for me, but Erica Christensen managed to pull it off without annoying me too badly. The 3rd guys family were horrible snobs. I don't understand why she put up with him and his family as long as she did. That was a real plot hole. No person of decency and niceness would have tolerated it. Teryl Rothery was charming as her mother.
