Strongly in the rom-com tradition of two people whose initial dislike for each other eventually changes after a series of disasters and strange behaviour, this film at least has the likeable Miranda Otto at its centre, and the oddness of her horse-obsession adds an unusual twist. While English actor (ex-pop singer) Martin Kemp is acceptable at best, Gia Carides is great as Otto's best friend.
The film moves along at pace through the usual series of pratfalls and the girl gets the boy in the end, so it's a fairly amiable film. Otto started to get better-written roles after this, and went on to awards and Hollywood, but this is a good place to see her starting out.
