Old hand Peter Brackett (Nick Nolte) and aspiring newcomer Sabrina Peterson (Julia Roberts) first meet when they are both assigned to cover a mysterious train crash. The pair immediately develops a connection despite their professional rivalry, and they decide to work together. Sensing something fishy about the crash, they look deeper and are soon fighting to expose a wide-ranging conspiracy, while also struggling to outmaneuver and out-charm each other along the way. Co-creators Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, who previously found success harking back to 1940s comedy in Father of the Bride, borrow heavily from His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, and other screwball classics. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Age difference and lack of chemistry between Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts are just two of many problems that mar this pale imitation (really pastiche) of 40s screwball comedies by Howard Hawks and George Cukor.
-
Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Fluffy murder mystery-comedy with Roberts and Nolte in fun form.
-
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
Neither terribly funny nor convincingly romantic
-
Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Just no chemistry between the leads.
-
Frank Ochieng, TheWorldJournal.com
A disjointed and tedious action-packed romancer featuring the miscast leads of Nolte and Roberts who toil along in this dull and draining ditty
