John
Cusack
and
Diane
Lane
star
in
this
romantic
comedy
titled
after
a
personal
ad
on
the
Internet.
Eight
months
after
getting
divorced,
downtrodden
preschool
teacher
Sarah
(Lane)
is
wary
of
re-entering
the
dating
pool.
Seeing
her
reluctance
as a
cry
for
help,
Sarah's
large,
jovial
family
plans
an
intervention.
While
Sarah
does
not
appreciate
being
bombarded
by
photographs
and
phone
numbers
of
potential
mates
(half
of
whom
are
married),
even
she
can
see
that
her
most
meaningful
relationship
should
not
be
with
her
brother's
dog--a
loveable
Newfoundland
named
Mother
Theresa.
After
Sara
answers
personal
ads
with
less-than-thrilling
results,
her
sister
Carol
(Elizabeth
Perkins)
takes
things
into
her
own
hands,
secretly
posting
an
online-dating
profile
on
Sarah's
behalf.
In a
familiar
montage
of
first-date
scenarios,
Sarah
meets
one
unappealing
prospective
bachelor
after
another:
one
who
can't
stop
talking
about
himself,
another
who
can't
stop
crying,
one
with
an
affinity
for
bondage,
etc.
But
when
she
meets
recently
divorced
Jake
(Cusack),
something
clicks.
While
their
meeting
is
somewhat
awkward,
it
makes
enough
of
an
impression
on
Jake
that
he
wants
a
second
chance.
From
here,
the
two
embark
on a
clumsy
courtship
complicated
by
misunderstandings,
mishaps,
and
another
equally
charming
suitor,
Bob
(Dermot
Mulroney).
While
doing
her
best
to
navigate
the
unfamiliar
world
of
modern-day
romance,
Sarah
learns
that
sometimes
finding
Mr.
Right
means
taking
a
chance.
Christopher
Plummer
and
Stockard
Channing
are
excellent
in
their
respective
roles
as
Sarah's
widowed
father,
Bill,
and
his
new
girlfriend
(a
compulsive
Internet-dater)
Dolly.
