What is notable about this is the sympathy it shows for people of lower income status--poor people, okay, poor folks--while also giving the focus of this romcom overwhelmingly to women. While I wouldn't say the characters are particularly deep, most of them have a bit more to them than bad stereotypes (save an inexcusable punchline from two flamboyantly gay cleaning people) and romcom tropes. It also provides a central family with strong chemistry, which it smartly uses to derive most of the emotional content of the film. The central romance will-they-won't-they is almost an afterthought.
Of course, it's still a romcom from the dumber era of Hollywood (argue all you want about Miramax's place in all that; they're just anotherā¦

Lovely, Julia (O'Hara) Stiles, of Irish, English and German heritage, was born on March 28, in New York City, the outgoing daughter and eldest of three children of a Greenwich Village artist mother, Judith Newcomb Stiles, and an elementary school teacher father, John O'Hara.
Encouraged to take modern dance lessons, she was introduced to Shakespeare and theater at an early age. When she was 11, she made her stage debut as a child actress with the experimental off-Broadway La MaMa Theatre. Her passion grew and by the next year was performing professionally and working in commercials. A bright, precocious student, she was seriously considered for the child vampire role of Claudia in Interview with the Vampire () but lost out in the end to Kirsten Dunst. She continued training at New York's Professional Children's School and, at 15, made her cinematic bow with I Love You, I Love You Not () with Claire Danes.
Julia was next featured as the daughter of Harrison Ford in The Devil's Own (), with her breakout role occurring on TV with the hard-hitting mini-movie Before Women Had Wings (), which was produced by Oprah Winfrey and dealt with child abuse. Her wish to7/10
A nice love story emerges amidst the chaos of a strange family
Carolina (Julia Stiles) might be termed the sane one in an Addams-like family. Her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) is notorious for doing and saying what she likes in their southern town. Sister Georgia is single and pregnant from a one night stand and sister Maine is a rocking horse-riding, lottery obsessed girl. The family's father is a semi-recovering alcoholic who turned to drink after the mother's death. Oh, and Aunt Marilyn is a madam. Only Carolina seems to be the white bread type, having a job in television and a British businessman for a boyfriend. However, Carolina has a long relationship with the handsome writer next door, Albert (Alessandro Nivola). It has been a friendship; could it ever be anything else? Amid the chaos of a very strange family situation, a nice love story emerges. Stiles is wonderful as the beautiful young lady who loves her family but hopes to live a more sedate life. MacLaine is really quite nice, also, as the eccentric grandmother and the other cast members are fine. However, the story is a stroll down life in extremes, careening from one bizarre in
