Writers: Roi Cooper Megrue(play), Jean C. Havez
Cast: Chris O'Donnell, Renée Zellweger, Artie Lange
Genre: Rom Com
Jimmie Shannon (Chris O'Donnell) is a commitment phobic bachelor. All of his single male friends have been lassoed by young fillies and got hitched, one by one. Leaving only Jimmie to run free like a wild Mustang. That's his analogy, the wild Mustang.
Well wouldn't you know it right when he's breaking up with another girlfriend who wanted to get too serious for him, a woman...Anne (Renée Zellweger) is seated at the table behind him and flirts...and he's hooked.
So the movie starts this way. And we see the couple fall in love, though truth be told they didn't have much chemistry. I like
Renée Zellweger and I wish she had more air time, but Chris O'Donnell was mediocre. Not bad, just not great, then again the movies not that great either. It tries too hard to be funny and seldom generated a laugh for me.
The best part was all the 1000's of brides chasing the bachelor down the street. See his friend puts an add in the paper saying if he marries one of them he will inherit 100 million dollars. I loved the scenes filmed on location in San Francisco, but that's not enough to make the film special.
A decent film, just don't expect too much.
