Although it had its occasional moments, it is hard to believe that a film with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson could be so bad. In my view that great chemistry that I expected between the two of them (and that both stars alluded to in the DVD special feature interview) never materialized. Their performance did not allow me to suspend my disbelief. I always felt I was was watching two actors at work, not real people having a real relationship.
I also found the story to be corny, predictable and unoriginal. The last straw was the obvious variation on the famous "Affair to Remember" episode regarding a missed rendezvous but this time its the gal waiting for the guy and she's not at the top of the Empire State Building.
