The on-screen chemistry between Cusack and Beckinsale is perceptible, but the only time they act together is at the very beginning and the very’ end of the film. The movie is at it’s best when the two act together, but the strong sup­ porting actors play a huge role in m adding to the comedy of this film. Dean Kansky (Jeremy Piven) plays the role of Cusack’s best friend, an obituary writer for The New Y’ork Times, who’s never really taken chances in his own life. He becomes transfixed by his friend’s adventurous, cra:y romanticism and aids him in finding his destiny. Eve (Molly Shannon) plays a simi­ lar role as Beckinsale’s close friend and a New Age shopkeeper. Eve assumes a typical Molly Shannon role. The real kicker in this film is Eugene Levy, whose role as an anal Blinimingdale’s salesman adds a definite comedic sense to the film. Cusack’s role is a lot more comfort­ able than his role in America’s Sweethearts and Beckinsale is as lovely as she was in Pearl Harbor, but with a British accent this time, (although she did have the Neve Campbell Icxik in this film).
