This is my favorite romantic comedy of all time, and the movie I've watched the most in my life. This doesn't mean that it should be everyone's favorite movie, but for me, it has a lot going for it.
I first watched it during my late teen years, and for some reason I thought, "this is the life I want to be living", which really makes no sense when you see what her life is like. I think I'd always…

Nicolas Cage is not a zebra, but he plays one in this movie. He actually successfully pulls off…
