I saw this movie only when it came to cable. Then I had to see it again and again. In my latter years I pay attention to the credits as it gives me an insight as to the message of the movie (if there is one).
The preponderance of women (who directed, produced, and wrote it) is telling. If one keeps this in mind when viewing the movie, additional appreciation can't be avoided. The main nonsequitur in the movie is the 'coolness' of the male actor. Although Mulroney did an excellent job, one wonders if a man who is about to do an ab-outface in his lifestyle (when he realizes it) could do so nonchalantly.
Messing plays and performs her role with excellence. She is a control freak who has no idea what to do when she meets a man who is in control. She is drawn to him as if addicted. This makes the movie.
