Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman are two of my favorite actors, so it’s no surprise that his movie would become one of my all-time favorites.
With its Christmas theme, it is one of those romantic comedies that leave you feeling warm and fuzzy all over. It leaves a single woman feeling as though there is still hope for finding that Prince Charming.
The calamities that befall the heroine, Lucy (Bullock) are so real that I identified with quite a few of them. How often have you said something to yourself, not realizing that you actually spoke the words and someone heard you? How many times have you been the tenth monkey in the line — and by the time the first monkey hears the story and passes it to the next and so on, the story is totally different from the original? Such is the turn of events that have poor Lucy engaged to a stranger (one she was secretly in love with but had never actually met) and taken into his family as one of their own. Who could ask for better in-laws? (Then, of course, there’s the pregnancy!)
You’ll get a kick out of Lucy’s neighbor — Joe Jr. who can’t keep his feet out of her shoes nor his mind off her panties. He is one of those irresistible types — you know the ones with the belly over the belt and the plumber’s butt… Yikes!
All of this does have a fairytale ending. Our heroine gets her prince — but not who you’d expect.
If I were rating this movie, it would be two thumbs up!
