I am not fond of movies where the entire plot is dependent on a silly misunderstanding. This is the case here, when Lucy (Sandra Bullock) saves the life of a man she has a crush on and is mistakenly thought to be his fiance by his family. Not of the family is convinced that she is who she says she is, especially Jack (Bill Pullman), who has designs on Lucy for himself.
Through some funny, dramatic and painful moments, it all has A Happy Ending.
Don't dwell too much on anything going on or question it. It will ruin whatever enjoyment this movie holds. Concentrate on the comedic turns by Glynis Johns, Michael Rispoli and Ally Walker. Bullock is adequate to the movie and is believable in her big monologue when she explains why she did not come clean with the family.
The character played by Peter Gallagher, who is in a coma for at least 3/4 of the movie, is the least appealing - he has pictures of himself in his wallet and in his apartment - what kind of guy does that, unless he's completely self-involved? Don't worry, Lucy ends up with the other guy.
