Synopsis:

Jennifer Aniston (Marley & Me, Office Space) and Steve Zahn (Sunshine Cleaning, Saving Silverman) star in this "rare romantic comedy" (Los Angeles Times) that's bursting with originality, humor and sweetness. It's lust at first sight for laid-back motel night manager Mike (Zahn) when Sue (Aniston), an uptight sales rep, checks in. Convinced that Sue is his dream girl, Mike shakes up his slacker life in an outrageous pursuit across the country. But can he steal her away from her hot-tempered boyfriend (Woody Harrelson, No Country for Old Men)? Both Mike and Sue must go on their own twisted journeys to find out if what they really need is each other.

5 out of 5 stars An unexpected pleasure   November 9, 2009
Big Momma (Northeast U.S.)
This movie really brought tears to my eyes. I thought it was going to be a comedy. Instead, it was a romance with very honest characters and an unusually realistic feel to it. I think this is the best role I've ever seen Jennifer Aniston play. Steve Zahn is someone I've liked but never saw him as a leading man.
The words 'leading man' hardly describe him in this movie. He is one of the two main characters (Aniston is the other) and he draws the viewer into his world. At first, you wonder if you really want to be in that world. Then, by the end of the movie, you feel like he could be your best friend.
I can't help but think of another movie, 'Being John Malkovich', that tries to bring the viewer into a world. Sure, that world is topsy-turvy but the point is: that movie doesn't succeed in doing that half as much as this movie does. And that movie was critically acclaimed. This movie has not gathered much notice but I predict it will gain a reputation and stay around for a long time. I've already thrown out my copy of 'Being John Malkovich'.
It takes 20 or 30 minutes to establish some things and it does this at a very slow pace. Stay with the movie - it picks up quickly and you love the characters, you just can't help it.

This is like the 3rd movie I have rented, money deducted and have not received. Items ordered do not show up in my library and 0 customer support in the past 6 hours. So I don't look too stupid rentals have been over the past few months BUT I never learn.

I UnBoxed this movie, and while I thought the movie stunk as a whole, I do believe Steve Zahn and Jennifer Aniston work very well together. I'd like to see more movies with them together.


5 out of 5 stars Feel good......another brilliant small movie   October 19, 2009
M. Putnam-Todd (Boston, MA)
I agree with the other reviewers. Just a breath of fresh air and uplifting. I also needed a feel-good movie and it delivers. All actors are brilliant and it's just so amazing to see them move and mature..and grow. A bit of therapy perhaps for the self as well. Great movie for anyone.
