Bonnie Hunt, David Schwimmer, Jason Lee

This so-so romance is patently predictable. Will the good girl end up with the bad boy or the nice guy? The premise would have us believe that a sleazy, none-too-bright sportscaster (David Schwimmer)...( read more  read more... ) has fallen madly in love with a classy, intelligent book editor (Mili Avital). To test her loyalty, Schwimmer asks his best buddy (Jason Lee) to romance Avital.

The likable aspects of this tired triangle concern the wraparound narration, featuring the ever-humorous Bonnie Hunt. She relates this complicated romance to rapt guests at a wedding. The marriage in question is between Avital and a supposed mystery man. The problem is that there is never much of a mystery. Or much of a romance. --Rochelle O'Gorman

    I enjoyed this movie and I don't see why others didn't. I mean in the beginning David Schwimmer's character was a jerk but by the end his character had gone through a total transformation, Jason Lee had a good performance, too as did Mili Avital.

    I'm not big on romantic comedies, but this one isn't as bad as most. Jason Lee gives another great performance as does David Schwimmer. The scene where he's trying to cover up an affair he's having while supposed to be in Detroit, is hard to do when he's talking to his fiancee on...( read more) the phone and the other girl is in the shower intentionally singing loud. "Yeah, Max, What's going on in Detroit?" And, yes, the movie soundtrack does include "At Last".

    This is a funny romance movie. Jason Lee and David Schwimmer both do a good job in their roles. A typical romantic film but it was entertaining.
