Tonight, while at work, I had a flashback of this godawful movie. Drew Barrymore as a selfish spoiled girl who dumps all over Steve Zahn. Mercifully, I'd forgotten it after seeing it at the theater with a couple of friends. Now it will haunt my dreams...evermore.

While I'm no big fan of the film by far(though James Woods and Lorraine Bracco are great in their roles), I think you've managed to spin the plot in almost superhumanly male chauvanist way. 

BounceGiggle I'm just sayin.

Sorry. It's been a while since I've seen the film, but I remember not liking Barrymore's character and thinking her actions unreasonable at the time.

Steve Zahn actually does a really fine job in this movie.

My best friend's wife got us to watch most of this a while back. A true chick flick, we were practically climbing the walls trying to get away from it. She finally gave up and watched the rest of it in another room.

 When I think of all the things I loathe about Drew Barrymore, this film sums them up.

That's one of the reasons I joked with Fortunato.  He actually made it nearly impossible to dislike him, despite his legendary scope of irresponsibility.

I actually saw this after losing a bet.  It was pretty good though...that's usually how it turns out when I end up seeing something I'm convinced I do not want to see.

Other films seen after a lost coin toss:
PAY IT FORWARD, THE TERMINAL, X-MEN 3(That's right!), MUSIC & LYRICS.
A sad side-effect of being married, I'm afarid.

While I find Drew Barrymore to be one of the coolest and most exquisite/beautiful women around, this move was an outright stinker.

Best part of the movie is Zahn getting a jock guy to punch him, he tries to hit him in the face but Zahn ducks a little and he punches the top of his head, badly hurting his hand.

But yeah, the movie is just OK aside from Zahn.  Pretty dull really.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
