A woman realizes that friends can be lovers, but now has to convince the friend in question in this
romantic comedy.
Michael O'Neal (
Dermot Mulroney) and
Julianne Potter (
Julia Roberts) were romantically involved in college, and after breaking up, they have managed to remain close friends. For years,
Julianne and
Michael have had a pledge that if both were single when they turned 28, they would get married. Shortly before her 28th birthday,
Julianne is lamenting the sad state of her love life when she gets a call from
Michael, who announces that he has important news.
Julianne is convinced that
Michael is going to ask her to marry him, and she is crestfallen when he announces that he's engaged to
Kimmy Wallace (
Cameron Diaz).
Kimmy seems like the perfect woman for
Michael; she's sweet, pretty, bright, and adores
Michael, and her wealthy family is just as fond of him as she is. But now that
Julianne has realized how much she loves
Michael, she's not about to give him up without a fight -- and isn't afraid to fight dirty.
Julianne's uneasy ally in the battle for
Michael's affections is her friend and editor
George Downes (
Rupert Everett), a cheerfully out-of-the-closet homosexual who is not prepared when
Julianne asks him to pose as her boyfriend.
