Overview
It took a lot of cajoling to get Bob, a recently widowed architect, to go on a blind date at a quirky Irish-Italian eatery. Once there, he's smitten instantly not with his date but with the sharp-witted waitress. Everything seems to be going great until an unbelievable truth is revealed, one that could easily break both of their hearts for good.
There are a zillion movies like this made every year. The best that one can usually hope for in this genre is that something makes the film stand out a little more than the other 98% of the movie like it. In this case the sweetness and chemistry displayed by Duchovny and Driver is undeniable. It also doesn’t hurt that the supporting cast is as good as you’ll ever find in this genre. I have to admit that I watched half of the movie thinking that the title meant something other than what it meant.
