Diane Lane plays a recently divorced woman whose family is doing everything it can to get her in the arms of another man. Her older sister signs her up with a dating thingy on the net. She resists the idea at first but warms to it eventually and she has a series of dates with amusing results. Just when it starts to seems hopeless she connects with John Cusack, who is also recently divorced, and like Lane, somewhat devastated because they were both dropped like hot potatoes by their partners. Then along comes Dermot Mulrooney and things get really complicated.
This film has a lot more going for it than you think. The script is tight and well plotted with natural, and sometimes witty dialogue. Diane Lane makes acting look so easy, as does John Cusack, and there is good chemistry between the two. This is a pleasant way to spend 98 minutes with your wife or girl friend.
PQ is excellent and sound is nothing exceptional, as you'd expect with this kind of movie.

Anyway, the original Straw Dogs was directed by Sam Peckinpah and starred Dustin Hoffman. It was pretty violent and quite disturbing when I first saw it. But I like Peckinpah's work and got over the disturbing stuff. I have it in my dvd collection and have watched it several...
