Ben (Ben Affleck) has two days to get from New York to Savannah, Georgia for his wedding to Bridget Cahill (Maura Tierney). Everything is running smoothly until his plane skids off the runway. Ben inadvertently saves the life of his seatmate, Sarah (Sandra Bullock), who becomes his companion for the longest two days of his life. As fate begins to repeat itself through a series of disasters involving a rental car, a train, and a bus (not to mention a hurricane), Ben has to wonder if someone's trying to give him a message. Inevitably, he also finds himself falling in love with Sarah. Meanwhile, Bridget wonders where, exactly, Ben is, and her old boyfriend Steve (David Strickland) attempts to take advantage of the situation. Not that Bridget's dad (Ronny Cox) really minds, since Steve is much more successful than Ben. En route, Ben and Sarah collide with Ben's best man, Alan (Steve Zahn) and his girlfriend, the maid of honor (Meredith Scott Lynn), which further adds to the series of cosmic tests that Ben must try to answer. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

    I liked Lake House more, and that's not saying much. I didn't like Lake House that much. Watch Two Weeks Notice instead; much better movie!

    ... I finally got around to watching this. I'd heard it stunk, frankly, but after 'the Lake House' needed SOMETHING to redeem Sandra in my eyes. And I was shocked at this. I expected it to be lame beyond words, but it really was very good - would've been better without the cliche bachelor party and gay bar dance which didn't fit the show at all, but that's Hollywood for you. ((And no doubt the reason the movie didn't do well.)) Don't expect a sweet, loveable Sandra, though - in this one she's one strange chicka... but enough to teach Ben a lesson or two in life. And the ending is surprising (and kinda dumb, since he hops back on the plane he spent the whole movie avoiding.)

    Being married 5 years with two kids in my twenties, this movie is pretty shallow. Didn't resonate with me, although I was looking forward to watching a usu. spunky sandra bullock movie. For me, even SHE could not redeem the script!
