He meets in the hotel elevator perky, trivia-obsessed Anna Penn (Natasha Henstridge), who is doing the same on the eve of her wedding. A few chance encounters later, the couple teams up to complete their chores -- and that's when Charlie realizes he's not in love with his career-driven future wife; He's in love with Anna. But is Anna in love with him? And if so, would they both leave their mates at the altar? ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

...kept afloat by two incredibly charismatic stars.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

I am such a girl. I really thought that this movie was very romantic. There were some scenes that really choked me up, for example, that romantic scene at the fountain. Oh my gosh. Nice movie!
