Plot summary

Two lost souls: she a con-artist in L.A.; he a puppeteer in San Antonio have the same dream linking each with the other. He travels to L.A. to find this woman he has become obsessed with. She resists, afraid of his kooky ideas until she travels with him to San Antonio and meets his wise grandmother. Story of two disparate people linked by "fate" gets increasingly interesting as it rolls along.

...was flipping channels and it caught my eye

Unfortunately I missed the beginning of this film, so I couldn't tell what was going on at first, but the girl, the gun, the dead guy and the black & white dream sequence caught my eye. After that I was unexplainedly hooked into watching the rest of this film--I simply could not stop watching it. It was like reading a good book you can't put down.

An Engaging Film

I'll watch this wonderful film anytime it comes up on Dish or cable. It was captivating, yet low key; weird, yet very sane, even with the dreams.It was the first time I had ever seen Joanna Going - an exceptionally beautiful woman. I have seen her since in several other films, but she was perfectly cast in this movie.This low key movie is a very old fashioned film, yet again at the same time, very modern. It harks back to romantic films of the 30s and 40s, but I can't say which film. It has that feel.Brendan Fraser's character's stress on family and his relationship with his grandmother was something that is sorely lacking in films of today.
