I went to see it because Dennis Quaid is a fox, so it didn’t have to work that hard to impress me. That said, it’s a strange little movie — a lot of stuff gets dropped or not paid as much attention as you’d expect; the timeline is strange; it’s not clear what story is really being told, or how, and by the end you’re not sure what you just saw. With that said, Topher Grace really is funny and has such an expressive face, and he’s quite charming and believable in this. And Marg Helgenberger’s hair continues to be heartbreakingly awesome. It’s a cute movie but it’s not a must. (1/31/05)
