Fred Savage is definitely trying to emerge from the stereotype of being the kid from Wonder Years. I will say he has a bit more success here than he did as Number 3 in Goldmember, though thats not saying much. Strange casting choice as our lead, Steven, since it feels not only unbelievable that he would be with Chloe in the first place, but also his transition into the nymphomaniac his best friend pushed him into. She just seems to be everything he wasnt. Add in the great advice and not so role model behavior from Jack on relationships and you have yourself a soup sandwich of self-esteem. Luckily the bartender somehow has some influence on Steven and gets him to see the error of his ways. I'm not sure what to make of the ending. Maybe I have become so programmed to want everything in a neat little package with this happened to so and so and they lived happily ever after but we get none of that here. We are left to wonder what happens to gold-digging Jack and Alexis (Amy Adams before her career exploded)and even more, what does Amelia do? This isnt a bad movie like you might expect, worth a watch if you are a fan of anyone in the cast.
