She can really act?
I am such a non-fan of Heather Graham its not even funny. Yet I watched this movie because it has Sandra Oh and there are few people I love as much as that woman. Then I was pleasantly surprised by this quirky post-feminist flick about women dealing with love despite of themselves.
Graham can actually act! That was probably the most shocking thing I discovered during the course of this film. I had always thought that 'Boogie Nights' and 'Two Girls and a Guy' were flukes, but then here she is carrying pretty much an entire film by herself.
There are some great moments here, some things I certainly never thought I would see in a movie (like tossing an annoying bra away and then retrieving it later when your boobs begin to ache!). Oh is fantastic as Graham's eclectic best friend and Sarah Chalke has a small role as their uptight married friend.
This movie starts out very promising, however as Graham's Pippa becomes more and more interested in dull Ian ('Gilmore Girls's 'Christopher', David Sutcliffe) the movie falls apart under the weight of rom-com expectations. It wraps up nicely, but all the while I was hoping she might end up with Taye Diggs' hot photographer.
Great start, disappointing love story, but brava to Heather Graham.
