Three of my crushes in one film was enough to watch this, but I was out of town(all over the country...almost) when this was shown in the theaters. You can imagine how shocked I was when I learned that this movie flopped. Why? Why? Why? When I got the chance to watch this, I tried to understand, but couldn't. Maybe I'm just biased, because like what I said before, three of my crushes are in this movie: Nicolas Cage, Josh Lucas and Mark Valley. Sigh...
When I watched this for the first time, I did not find anything wrong with it, so it was still a mystery to me why it flopped. I watched it a couple of more times and maybe, just maybe(but hey, this is not a "chick" flick) it was because in the latter part, Josh Lucas did not look so handsome and story is a bit old. I guess the time it was shown, the audience was sick and tired of that genre and that story. It did have some new elements, but I guess it was not enough for the viewing public.
