(More customer reviews)Put the depressing world news aside for a bit, and relish this delightful romantic comedy. John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale shine as Jonathan and Sara, two people brought together while fighting over the last pair of black cashmere gloves at Bloomingdale's a few days before Christmas. This leads to a falling-in-love conversation at a coffee shop, ice skating amidst the Christmas decorations of New York, and finally a parting where she won't reveal her name because she believes in fate. Now, if you can accept that a girl can fall totally in love and decide not to share her name and number but choose to leave it all up to fate to bring them back together, you will love this movie. And I did! A name on a five-dollar bill and another name in a book called "Love in the Time of Cholera" are pivotal to the plot as Jonathan and his best friend race to find one, while Sara and her best friend stumble onto the other. But this is all several years later when both are about to marry other people. Will the two would-be lovers find each other in time? Will there be a happy-ever-after ending? Suffice it to say, you will see the glove counter at Bloomingdale's one more time.
John Cusack is adorable as always in this ultimate chick flick, and Kate Beckinsale excels as the slightly off-beat girl he can't forget. But it is Jeremy Piven as his best friend and Eugene Levy as the Bloomingdale's clerk who have some scene-stealing moments.
Treat yourself to this totally romantic escape into a world where all is well and your fondest dreams can come true.
