In this ultra-hip, multilayered comedy, triangles and emotional imbroglios take on a new meaning. Well, at least they try. Jennifer Aniston plays a straight woman who falls in love with a gay man (Paul Rudd). She invites him to move in with her just hours after they meet. As their friendship progresses, she learns she is pregnant, and wants Rudd to act as daddy to her newborn, much to the consternation of her overbearing boyfriend (John Pankow).

The film takes itself too seriously, although there is some genuine emotion buried in Wendy Wasserstein's clunky script. It is not that the relationships are unbelievable; it is that the story lurches forward from one stilted setup to another. And unfortunately, characters are motivated by unknown forces to take on major life changes without explanation. More fortunate are two very likable performances by Rudd, who wisely plays this without cute, homosexual tics, and a most perky and appealing Aniston. Supporting actor Nigel Hawthorne walks away with the film as a gay drama critic who imparts a few important life lessons as he learns one of his own. --Rochelle O'Gorman

READ THE BOOK INSTEAD. I liked this move, somewhat, as bad and trite as it may be, it was sincere, I LOVE Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, they are perfectly cast...but this movie is in no way like the book. The original story is very focused on the male character and his pursuit to find true love and understanding. It is less about Nina, the pregnant room-mate he is forced to live with here. She is an important character of course, but really more a secondary character to the story. She never tries to pursue him or beg for his affections like a lonely wet dog. She's quite the contrary. A tougher stronger woman than portrayed here. Many of the other characters, and certainly the events in this book, have been altered and or changed within this script to appease a STRAIGHTER audience. Especially George's past and future relationships with men. The man he actually falls in love with in the end is a completely different story. A touching and tender discovery of love and fear...that ends happily for the gays for once! Typical Hollywood. They should have just made a great movie based on a great book. It could have been up there with Brokeback Mountain as a film that truly deals with an honest portrayal of the gay psyche and homosexual intimacy that will forever possess your heart and soul

SERIOUSLY - read this book. It is one of my favorites. It is truly sad they could not honor Stephen McCauley's touching work. It's a shame.
