Errores:

Errores Reales: While Brett is at the hospital visiting Archie who has just been admitted for Pancreatitis a nurse asks her to try and get his dinner order. However, a patient suffering the initial stages of Pancreatitis would be "fed" intravenously to avoid pancreatic stimulation and possible infection complications caused by bowel flora.

Citas:

Nurse: Just a minute miss, sorry to bug you. But your father hasn't filled out his dinner menu yet. Would you mind?
Brett Eisenberg: He's not my father.
Nurse: Excuse me?
Brett Eisenberg: I said he's not my father. He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!
Nurse: Either way he eats, right?
[Brett walks into the hospital room, pulls back the curtain, and we see Archie in bed]
Archie Knox: [using a high pitch, mimicking voice] He's my boyfriend. I have sex with him!

Romantic comedy without romance or comedy

Take your average brainless romantic comedy, that is fluffy but entertaining enough, that gives a few laughs. Formula food for movie goers. Remove the comedy, and then remove any believable romance. What do you have remaining? Not even drama. It is nice to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in something, and she is a fine enough actress. Alec Baldwin, stock rising after 30 Rock, was not the right choice for this 'story', and between them they cannot save a weak script or inject anything of interest. They are not convincing of love, nor even interact in any interesting way. Nor are there any compensatory laughs. The plot is a straight forward slice-of-life of a girl who meets an older man, and shacks up with him. What happens in the end? Nothing to care about.
