I have seen this film at least 5 times but I never ever remember the end. This is because it is so forgettable. Why? It starts off well. The story is interesting and the three lead actors are superb, ...but Hunter's and Brooks' characters were very annoying. Makes a good soapy, full stop.
Hunter is a neurotic woman with many many many hangups. Too many issues would signal halt at any pace to a guy but she's still being pursued by the two male actors. Brooks' character is the kind of smart-a** jerk-geek combo who we all can comprehend why he's usually beaten up in school. Rest assured, it's all self-inflicted. He's full of petty jealousy and lacking of any self respect. This is then topped with a high dosage of whiny self pity. The kind of person people loathe. Hurt is the overly nice guy who have resisted in putting Brooks through a wall. I still give it a 7/10 for acting but the 2 characters were so annoying that I never attempt to remember what the film was about. Hence, the vicious circle of re-viewing. Might be a plot of the director/script writer's to get me to watch it more than just once (which would have been ample).
Having said that, I could remember some other films I have seen 20 years ago and could still see it over and over again and still enjoy it.
