This isn't the funniest movie ever made, but it has some charm to it. It's a light, romantic comedy with some great performances in it, plus a moose. The writing is a little flat at times, but the actors make the best of the material. Gene Hackman has a great talent for making weak lines seem stronger than they really are. Ray Romano is better when he's let loose from scripted lines, Maura Tierney plays the smartest (and most realistic) character in the movie. Locals Jessica Holmes and Paul Bates appear as Tierney's and Romano's sidekicks, respectively, but Bates gets more lines and opportunity to shine.
