'Til There Was You (1997)

Cute concept ("It took them twenty years..." yadda yadda), okay exposition, anticlimactic ending. Tripplehorn's performance, while not stirring, was right for her role. McDermott looks attractive and is attractively tortured, essentially playing the same character he's played from "Steel Magnolias" through to "The Practice." Jessica Parker is delightfully vampy and vapid, and shines in her own right. The apartment building ("La Fortuna") is lovely and romantic, which right there should tell you nothing like it actually exists in Los Angeles. It's not a bad movie, but it fall flat on overall freshness and originality.
