Greeting again from the darkness. While it is tempting to dismiss this film as just another from the Hollywood machine, I would ask you to view it as a romantic fantasy more than a romantic comedy. What if ... you had chosen the "other fork"? Nicholas Cage is fine in his role, actually more believable as the suburban tire salesman than the Wall Street tycoon. But the real star is Tea Leoni. She illuminates the screen. She even proves to have some acting ability! I was mesmerised with her scene on the bed waiting for her anniversary gift. Sure it is predictable, but tell me you don't catch yourself thinking "What if...?" at least a couple of times during the movie. Check out Robert Downey, SR. as the elderly gentleman who answers the door late in the film.
