This sorry, sorry excuse for a romantic comedy came out a year or two ago. (I'm so scarred I can't remember.) It stars at least one person from "Friends." If you see one of their names in the credits of *anything*, please head for the door. Go play video games in the lobby. It's a much more constructive way to use your time.

The story is the most disjointed thing since Aldous Huxley decided to find out what drugs are like. Two people have wildly different personalities. They lead separate lives. They lead very cute lives, full of playing on tire-swings and jumping in the lake. Then they go to college, and they meet, but boy do they have problems! They argue over stuff -- but you can tell they are starting to like each other! I nearly tossed my Smarties.

What really drove me up the wall about this one is that *every scene lasts thirty seconds*. The only exception is a part where the lady is in college and she talks for at least sixty seconds. However, all parts before and after feature somebody talking a bit, and then just when it gets interesting, wham! We're somewhere else. Follow the plot? I couldn't *see* it. People around me kept muttering, "What just happened?"

This film also commits the sin of ruining a great song. Now I can't listen to my Beatles tapes without cringing.

I hate this film. One turkey is all I can stand to give it.
