Box summary: Drew Barrymore (Ever After, The Wedding Singer) heads a hot cast in an outreageously fun romantic comedy about trust, destiny and love in the '90s! Max and Elizabeth (Jennifer Beals-Devil in a Blue Dress, The Prophecy ll) have been lving together for years. But when it becomes clear that he's not ready to get married, she becomes more and more withdrawn ... until Max is convinced that Elizabeth is fooling around on the side!

Then as Max's suspicion grows, sexy Lena (Barrymore) further complicates matters by stepping in with a scheme to win him over! Also starring Jon Stewart (The Faculty, Playing by Heart) as a funny photographer with an eye for Elizabeth-you'll laugh along with all the zany desperation that arises as jealousy and manipulation and intrude into these unconventional modern relationships.
