...despair. Valentine solutions are only a phone call away. Cute and thoughtful gifts can be delivered without much hassle. Delivery isn't just for pizza anymore, but still pizza remains a good place to start in the search for Valentine ideas. Tommy's, that late-night mainstay, will bake heart-shaped pizzas on request.

Nigel Hawthorne, a Hytner mainstay, is thrown into the movie for no apparent reason (other than to give a tedious monologue where he works in the title of the movie.) Even worse, the script is unsure of itself-the declarations of love between various sets of characters are intolerably stilted. When Wasserstein tries to create intensely...
