Cameron Diaz plays Christina a young, free woman with a very guarded heart. She dates like a man and is enjoying herself. But one night at a trendy nightclub Christina meets her match, Peter. Peter is in town(SanFran) for only one night and gives christina his number. Christina not wanting to admit her interest decides not to call and spends the rest of the movie in self-reflection. Determined to see her best friend happy, Courtney(Applegate) takes Christina on a road trip to Peter’s hometown in search of the man of her dreams.

I have a love -hate relationship with this movie. On the one hand, I love a movie with girl bonding, road trips, missed opportunities, and cute men. However, I have never like the vulgarity of this movie. I have seen the theatrical version and it is pretty bad. The edited for tv version is a little better.
I read recently that this movie is based on writer’s Nancy Pimental friendship with Kate Walsh. Yep, Kate Walsh who plays Dr. Addison Montgomery on Gray’s Anatomy. I am assumming if this is true that Kate is the character of Christina played by Cameron Diaz. Pretty interesting tid-bit there. Who knew Chick Flicks were really based on true-life!
