Television director-producer Scott Winant (thirtysomething) made his feature debut with this predictable romantic-comedy about two people destined to meet and fall in love--though it takes 20 years for their lives to intersect. A good idea done before, the film doesn't have anything new to offer, and the excessive sweetness of Winant's approach can't mask the lack of originality. Still, it boasts a very attractive cast, and it's fun watching these actors work together. --Tom Keogh

Two young, upwardly mobile Angelenos lead separate lives destined to intersect--he's a standoffish architect and pathological liar looking out for number one, and she's a wistful, incurably romantic ghost writer looking for Mr. Right. She loves her ornate Gothic apartment building; he's been hired to raze it and replace it with postmoderny angular condos. The two stumble through a maze of near-misses and contrived coincidences on the rocky road to romance. A first feature for director Winant, formerly a producer for TV's "My So-Called Life"; that show's creator, Winnie Holzman, penned.

It took them twenty years to fall in love at first sight.
Gwen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and Nick (Dylan McDermott) are in love. They just don't know it yet. Ever since they bumped into each other in childhood, their lives have gone in opposite directions. Gwen could never imagine that her dream man is Nick, an architect who plans to raze the historic apartment building she's trying to preserve. And Nick, who's already romantically linked with a neurotic former TV child star (Sarah Jessica Parker), has no idea he's about to step into Cupid's line of fire. How can it take twenty years to fall in love at first sight? It's easy when a lifetime of chance encounters finally fall into place, as love and laughs go hand in hand in this heart-warming comedy. Featuring Jennifer Aniston and Ken Olin.
