...very notion of true love, according to many scholars, is a relatively recent invention; in most places, in most times, marriage has been a practical arrangement. Those who scoff at matrimonial ads in Indian papers may have few qualms about placing SWM notices in their local tabloids; a blind date is only an arranged marriage in potentia.

Mastrantonio lacks the requisite androgyny but is otherwise faultless. Woodard, one of four black leads chosen in admirably color-blind casting, excels at seductive banter, and Andre Braugher is thrillingly intense as a pirate who risks his life to help a shipwrecked princeling.
