OK, here's the deal: Mark Christopher wrote & filmed a much more interesting story, namely an all-3-sides love triangle between the Philippe, Hayek, and Breckin Meyer characters, where the three all behaved rather badly and rashly. But Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who run Miramax, which is owned by Disney, quite simply, freaked. They showed the movie to a bunch of shallow preview audiences who shy away from characters who are good AND bad, instead of one or the other, and made Christopher do extensive reshoots. Which is is how we got this dull, mangled mess of a film. The Neve Campbell character is so damned boring it's hard to understand how she'd be charismatic enough to get her soap opera role, much less get into the movies. Philippe is a cipher, and we don't see enough of Hayek and Breckin together to understand their relationship. Next time, Harvey and Bob, let the two boys kiss.
