I presume that it was tough playing against the recent memory of "Analyze This". I have experienced that before, having the best stuff in the previews, and the movie seems like a head of wilted lettuce. It is very annoying. Even in the previews, I kept wondering why Jeane Tripplehorn looked a little "rough", and whether this was yet another part that Hugh Grant would stammer his way through, so it was not at the top of my list anyway. But thanks for the heads up!

One friend, the girlfriend of the vintner's son, comes up with a scheme to pair the vintner with her ex- lover, a philosophy teacher, with whom she is trying to maintain a friendship. She figures that if she can pair the two of them, it will cancel any lingering temptations towards the ex- lover, and permit her to continue a friendship with two people of whom she is very fond. Another friend, a best friend from childhood, places an ad, and pretends to be the vintner in order to evaluate the potential beau. Of course, there is some consternation when the ruse comes to light, in more than one stage. The focus on those reluctant to make fools of themselves, but hopeful about mid- life romance, is delicious. This is certainly one of Rohmer's best movies, and may be his most profound...
