Screenplay
Lindsay and Frank are two strangers invited to Frank's brother's wedding in Paso Robles, California. While there, they get to know that they are more than strangers and share an equal level of irritableness and grief towards the world. However, under the thick cloud of exasperation the hopeless romantics slowly fall for each other.
- Winona Ryder as Lindsay
- Keanu Reeves as Frank

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 43% based on 47 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10.
Micheal Rechtshaffen of The Los Angeles Times panned the film calling it "a stubbornly unfunny 86 minutes that feels a lot longer." Jeanette Catsoulis of The New York Times called the film "torture" adding "this would-be romantic comedy is grating, cheap-looking and a mighty drag: it also turns two seasoned, likable actors into characters you’ll want to throttle long before the credits roll." Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C+ saying the script "comes on like a rom-com David Mamet freight train; its verbal turns are so wildly overwritten that all the actors can really do is hold on to the wheel well, racing through reams of ratatat dialogue."
More positively, Kate Erbland of Indiewire gave the film a B saying "Maybe this is what falling in love is like, and it’s high time that rom-coms had the space for weirdos like these." Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film three out of five stars admitting that "some of the dialogue does border on overwritten...there’s enough wit and finely observed pedantry to make up for the occasional indulgence." Of the film's stars Lee said "The pair share an easy, spiky chemistry and Reeves in particular shows himself to be surprisingly skilled at delivering such bile-filled dialogue."
