Kwapis takes the male character's point of view, recalling a burgeoning relationship. Silver then takes a crack at the same story, recalling the same events from the woman character's point of view. Unfortunately, both perspectives are not that much different. Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins star as Dan Hanson and Lorie Bryer, two reporters from the Baltimore Sun who are assigned to share space on the editorial page debating opposing viewpoints. Dan is the conservative philanderer. Lorie is the sensitive liberal. The new column becomes a big hit -- a shop owner exclaims, "Hey, it's the people who argue!" Although originally antagonists, Dan and Lorie become lovers. As their relationship grows, so does their popularity, and they end up hosting a popular television program. But Lorie wants commitment, and Dan doesn't. Frustrated, Lorie shies a coffee cup off Dan's noggin live on the air. Their ratings soar. And then the whole routine is played out again. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A snappy, scrappy comedy about some of the universal problems which plague romantically involved couples.
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Too bad neither of them said, 'this gimmicky flick isn't worth making.'
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Two likable leads struggle against narrative gimmickry.
