as it should or could have been.
I really enjoy watching lovely Laraine Day and bought this movie basically because she's in it.
The movie fails on two accounts: first there is no chemistry between Alan Marshall and Laraine Day therefore their 'romance' seems unbelievable, secondly, Marshall's character pursues someone else during the whole film and does not appear to have any interest in Day's character therefore the ending when they get together seems rather bizarre.
Had the two actors been more compatible and the script had him actually chasing her and her playing hard to get, the film could have been much much better.
However I still love watching Laraine Day and for that reason I am not disappointed that I bought the DVD. Just don't buy it thinking its going to be a forgotten gem. It is average at best.
