You don't have a romantic bone in your body. This was a great comedy with some fine acting. My all-time favorite scene is near the end when Cher sits down at her family's table with her finace's brother. That look her father gives her is pricless. I also loved the whole moon metaphor.

ps. You are a poo-poo brain!
