Synopsis
Dylan Ramsey (David Spade) is a semi-successful restaurant owner in L.A. who's looking for Ms. Right. He's beginning to despair that she's out there when an attractive French cellist, Lila Dubois (Marceau), literally runs into him while chasing her runaway dog. Dylan is immediately smitten, and he decides to pursue her in the most rational manner possible: kidnap her dog then lap up her gratitude when he pretends to find the pooch. Things go awry, however, when the animal eats an expensive ring Dylan is keeping for a friend, so he is forced to keep the dog until a bowel movement returns the jewelry. In the meantime, he and Lila gradually grow closer until complications arrive in the person of Rene (Patrick Bruel), Lila's ex-boyfriend, who's determined to win her back and humiliate Dylan at the same time.
Critics' reviews
- "Comes across as a lame wannabe - a romantic comedy that lacks the level of outrageousness necessary to elevate it about the countless trite entries into the bloated genre."
- "Long on smarm and short on charm."
- "The distractions are more satisfying than the romantic main course"
- "In asking us to believe David Spade as a romantic lead, it miscalculates beyond all reason."
- " it makes 'There's Something About Mary' resemble a Noel Coward comedy of manners."
