Product Description

When a soon-to-be-married frat boy doesn't want to give up his bachelor pad, he decides to share his small New York City apartment with two tenants: Ellen, a dental hygienist with a passion for painting, and Sam (Matthew Broderick), a gourmet chef looking for privacy. Although they occupy the space on alternate days, Ellen and Sam fall in love with each other. But despite their obvious connection, a series of maddening events and wacky errors are keeping them from uniting in The Night We Never Met.

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this delightful movie finally released on dvd. It is one of my all time favorites and I had been waiting for years to finally see it released on dvd. I was a little disappointed that there are no extras whatsoever, but hey at least I got the movie.

Anyway it is a "Chick Flick" comedy that a guy can like. Yes it is a light, but very entertaining movie about how the lives of three "opposites" intersect; Sam the cultured, pseudo-artsy, wannabee Chef, Ellen the disillusioned wife looking for her own space and Brian the Stockbroker party animal. Will the lives of these three people remain separate or will circumstances allow them to meet, even though they are never at the apartment on the same days? This is a nice film with a clever story and script. Only in the Big Apple, I suppose, would you find folks willing to rent a place for only two nights a week. The cast is terrific, with Broderick, especially, giving a very funny and touching performance. As for the costumes, sets and production values, they are great, resulting in a movie that looks mighty nice. If you are a romantic comedy fan, you can't miss this one! Its fresh plot elements and well-drawn characters make it a welcome find in the world of light-hearted love stories. Yet, even if you are not a regular romcom viewer, the film still has some funny situations and universal themes that make it a diverting watch for most anyone.

This movie makes you want to help these two people find each other. . All you romantics will be captivated by the story line, the couple and the cruel twist of fate that keeps them apart. I bet you'll be wanting to help them too. "Matthew Broderick"(Sam) a gourmet chef,needing some peace and quiet, and "Annabella Sciorra" (Ellen) a dental hygienist, wanting a place where she can paint, each sublease an apartment for (2) days a week . The actual tenant of the apartment who is soon to be married and doesn't want to give the apartment up, as he and his frat buddies meet there a few nights a week themselves. Decided to sublease the apartment for the remaining days in the week in order to keep it. I don't want to spoil things for anyone by giving away too much, but I hope I've said just enough to peek your interest. Rent or buy this movie, you 'll be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally on DVD!

I can't believe this is finally on DVD. I remember seeing this on HBO many times, and then forgot about it. Then, trying to find it recently, came to find it was not readily available on DVD. I resorted to buying a used VHS copy which I could not even watch for some time, until I took a trip back to my parents house, where they still have a combo DVD/VHS player.

There are so many memorable characters here:

-Jeanne Trippelehorn as the kooky performance artist

-The fiance of Justine Bateman's character, and his band of slob friends

-Garry Shandling as the dental patient

Broderick and Sciorra are the cute couple that are meant to get together and take an indirect route before they meet. They are the straight characters, and the supporting cast adds the humor.

I loved this perfectly cast, charming flick. This is the New York scene for the single Sam (Matthew Broderick) who is looking for someone who will care about him. He finds an apartment that he can have two nights a week where he can be alone as the apartment he sub-lets is virtually full of people. He is not looking for anything long-termed as he believes he can't handle that since his last relationship has failed. But then there is Ellen (Annabella Sciorra) who shares that apartment another two days a week. Sam cooks, Ellen Paints. They share notes and finally when you might think they will never meet because of various circumstances, they do. It ends as you would hope, happily.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not live up to its potential
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2012

This is one of those movies that has an intriguing premise. Two people share an apartment but spend alternate nights there and are attracted to each other via clues but don't meet until the end. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't live up to its potential. It starts out being a bit confusing. The scenes are visually crowded and it is difficult to feel comfortable with what is going on. Second, there are all sorts of odd side details of the characters' lives that detract from the story rather than add to it. Romantic movies like this often have people in dead-end relationships that end up together. In the case of this movie, one of the characters is in an inexplicable relationship with a ridiculous character who is supposed to be a French actress and the other one is in what appears to be a relatively happy marriage. Rather than being humorous, many of the scenes end up being silly or difficult to believe. The characters aren't really developed all that much. They just sort of appear as stock characters and don't change much. I really like Matthew Broderick's movie Addicted to Love. This movie seems to have a lot of the same types of themes and ideas, but it is more like a dry run that didn't have all of the kinks worked out quite yet. I see that a lot of people have given this movie a positive review. For me, it just didn't quite fulfill the promise suggested by the premise. If this movie sounds good to you, do yourself a favor and check out Addicted to Love instead.

I love this movie! It seems to be a sleeper and honestly I don't know why. The acting is perfect. A hilarious story and even though this movie is old it is timeless. We could all use a good laugh during this pandemic. This movie will pull you out of your head.
