Ben Stiller, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elle Macpherson, Robert John Burke, Eric Schaeffer, James Rebhorn - Dir:Eric Schaeffer. Joe is an artist, Lucy is a therapist, and together they're driving each other crazy. Two best friends go on a hilarious search for love when they make a pact to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge if they don't find their perfect match before turning 30. Written and directed by Eric Schaeffer.
A Manhattan therapist and her artist best friend made a pact to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge together if they don't find true love before their 30th birthdays. They try desperately to avoid their date with destiny in this spirited romantic comedy.
Joe and Lucy are best friends and roommates in a small Manhattan apartment...and she's about to turn 30. So Lucy won't stop reminding Joe of their pact to jump off a bridge if they haven't found true love by the time she hits the big three-oh. Joe reluctantly agrees to honor the agreement. But first Joe tries to head off disaster by helping their romantic lives take off. He begins by anonymously inviting his beautiful neighbor (whom he's been ogling for years) to his first gallery opening. Then he makes sure this big event also offers possibilities for Lucy--who wins the interest of celebrated conceptual artist Bwick Elias. Will Joe and Lucy find love in the world of art? Or will the two roommates discover that when it comes to romance, there really is no place like home?

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)
I love the dialogue Lots to like about this inverted boy-meets-girl plot. Writer/director/lead Eric Schaeffer really does a good job capturing snappy, off-beat conversations - like Seinfeld but with a soul. Ben Stiller steals the show with his bit part as Bwick. Elle Macphereson looks great and does a passable job as the fantasy become real. A young Scarlett Johansen plays a bit part. The soundtrack supplied entirely by Marry Me Jane is one of the best indie band efforts you have never heard of. The scenes are funny in both both a smart and silly way. The ending is typically Hollywood happy but very well done. This is good date movie fare. Submitted by Brian (Massachusetts) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
