Anna Massey, who appears fleetingly as Sand's mother, offers a demonstration of how to make an overpoweringly fine impression in only a few minutes' time.
05/20/03
Top CriticA rather conventional romantic comedy, with the requisite plot devices to provide obstacles for the would-be lovers, but the story is well told.
04/09/02
It's mildly funny, mildly dramatic, and well-acted enough.

Despite all this assembled talent, the film stubbornly refuses to come to life.
