On a bustling shopping day in the winter of 1990, Jonathon Trager meets Sara Thomas. Two strangers amid the masses in NYC, their paths collide in the mad holiday rush as they fall victim to a mutual attraction. Despite the fact that each is involved in another relationship, Jonathon and Sara spend the evening wandering Manhattan. But when the night reaches it's inevitable end, the two are forced into determining some kind of next step. When the smitten Jonathon suggests an exchange of phone numbers, Sara balks and proposes an idea that will allow fate to take control of their future. If they are meant to be together, she tells him, they will find their way back into one another's life.

Bill's Comments

For this movie they ought to create a new Rating Category -- HRO. That is "Hopeless Romantics ONLY!" This is another "Sleepless in Seattle" kind of thing. If you're not a "Hopeless Romantic" you will walk out in the middle -- as I saw two 12 yr old boys do. However, if you are an HR, you will stay and enjoy it quite a bit. I like John Kusack and I think that I am beginning to like Kate Beckinsale. If, many many years ago, you ever had that kind of magical brief encounter, you will fully enjoy this flick. I did, and I did.
