I've watched Jennifer Love Hewitt sizzle and smoulder her way through many films, and whilst there's no denying she oozes sex appeal from every part of her perfectly formed body, often her performances lack a little depth. However I was quite taken by this one. She definitely makes this movie.

Even with the solid sterling cast of Liotta, Weaver, Bancroft, Lee and Hackman this movie could easily have become a little tedious and lack-lustre. What tips it to just short of excellence, and brings it to life is JLH in one of the most captivating performances I've witnessed from this delectable woman.

I would have like to see a little more spark between Hewitt and Jason Lee, but they play the humorous side very well indeed. There are some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments in this film - sadly not enough, but Hackman and a bird provide one of the best.

I'm glad I ignored my first impressions and stuck with it. I still recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and be thoroughly entertained and amused. Great performances from a very talented cast, some great lines, and suitable for all audiences.
