Promising but disappointing. There's just too many elements distracting you from the plot

it's truly one of my favorite movies. If you want to see an honest movie about friendship& love with a great cast, than watch it.

A lot like every movie she did in the 90s. If you like the Jennifer Lopez romance films, you'll like these. Havent rewatched so may be dated
