slightlymad22 Plot In A Paragraph: Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck) a professional book-jacket blurbologist, is trying to get to Savannah for his wedding. He just barely catches the last plane, but a seagull flies into the engine as the plane is taking off. So he is forced to hitch a ride with an attractive but eccentric woman named Sara (Sandra Bullock) Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock make an attractive romantic pairing, and have a certain amount of chemistry. Michael Fairrman Bridget Thurman, Moira Tierney, Steve Zahn, Ronny Cox and Richard Schiff are all good in supporting roles. The plot moves a long at a good pace, their are a few laughs to be had and the ending is a surprise too.I don't understand the hate that Affleck gets, as I usually enjoy his movies that vary in tone, style and subject matter drastically 'Company Men' or 'Armageddon' 'Argo' and 'Hollywoodland' or the (what I consider the under rated 'Jersey Girl' I enjoy him in all of them. As for Bullock, she remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes promising just by having her name in it's cast.

Amy Adler Ben (Ben Affleck) is engaged to a beautiful woman with Southern roots, Bridget (Maura Tierney). It is the week before the wedding and poor Benjamin, who hates to fly, has to board a plane to Savannah. A book jacket writer, this handsome man tries to stay calm. However, the plane has problems and makes an emergency landing. Also on the aircraft, two seats away, was Sarah (Sandra Bullock), a free-spirit if there ever was one. As Ben doesn't want to fly and Sarah kind of takes a shine to him, they decide to hitch a ride with another man in a rental car. However, again, there are problems, as the man has pot in the auto and the three are hauled off to jail. And, so it goes. There is one mishap after another, with Ben calling Bridget at intervals to assure her that he is "almost there". Her family is fuming, for they didn't like his Yankee heritage anyway. In fact, Bridget's father has invited a former flame to attend the pre-nupts and make moves on this engaged woman. As Bridget feels a slight pull in her ex's direction and Ben becomes more enamored with the unusual Sarah, will there end up being a wedding at all? This film is a fairly good romcom but not outstanding. Yes, its my nature, along with the rest of the world, to love Affleck and Bullock and they do their best, making the flick better than the script. Tierney, Steve Zahn, and all of the other supporting cast members are great, too. Also, the changing scenery from the various stops on Ben and Sarah's journey is nice, too while costumes are flattering. The nearly last scene, with an outside wedding being disturbed by strong winds, is quite wonderful. Therefore, its the tepid script and average direction that are to fault. Its another case of planes, trains, and automobiles mixed with mismatched mates, making viewers get a bit of deja vu all over again. So, dear romcom fans, you will probably enjoy this one but may feel desolate at the end, which, in my opinion, is not what is wanted or expected.

mbg411 An entertaining but very unrealistic romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck. They play their characters well with some comedy, and the supporting cast adds a nice touch. However, while Affleck and Bullock work well together, I didn't feel a lot of charisma between them. I'll choose to ignore this though, since their characters are quite a couple. The movie's theme is to "love the one you're with".However, while the concept of the movie is really good as a romantic comedy, the delivery has some problems. The biggest problem is that there are plot holes that you can drive a truck through. It seems that many interesting situations and backstories in the movie were dropped without much explanation. I never spoil the endings of any movie, but this one, while unpredictable, made for a huge plot hole. Also, the movie's plot is very unrealistic, but in an entertaining sort of way.The most this movie has going for it is the characters and actors. This romantic comedy is at least adequate and worth watching, but it could have been better. If it were a TV movie, the problems with this movie would be more forgivable.

Thorsten-Krings First the good thing: the film is a quite well made road movie / quest story about a not so young man who needs ti find out what really is important for him. Another great thing is that the film does not get the soppy, cheesy ending you expect for a long time but ends on a rather serious note. Then, the film is also quite funny and entertaining. However, the whole idea of the film and indeed some of the gags and scenes seem to be lifted from the Steve Martin / John Candy vehicle "Trains, planes and automobiles" and you do feel reminded of Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild". So all in all with a lot of scenes you just get the impression that you have all in seen it before.
