    Only two things are important to Charlie - traffic and Amy (Anne Heche). Somehow these two things are at loggerheads with each other, and Charlie keeps losing Amy.

    I don't know why, but I love this movie. Boy loves traffic, girl loves dance. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl movies away and joins expiramental dance troupe. Boy follows his passion for congestion until he stumbles across girl. Ahh..the simple times = )
