I’m with Lucy (2002)

Jack and I enjoyed this cute rom-com about a New York woman, beginning with her wedding and flashing back to five blind dates, jumping back and forth from date to date, until we find out at the end which guy she picked. Monica Potter is adorable as Lucy (with perfect hair and lip gloss in nearly every scene) and her dates are John Hannah, Gael Garcia Bernal, Anthony LaPaglia, Henry Thomas, and David Boreanaz, with Julianne Nicholson as Lucy's friend and Craig Bierko in a cameo at the beginning. Also making appearances are Julie Christie and Harold Ramis as her parents.

Director Jon Sherman works (twenty years ago!) from a script by Eric Pomerance. I never watched How I Met Your Mother but the concept sounds like that. The music by Stephen Endelman isn't available online.

Bernal was last blogged for Coco, Christie for The Company You Keep, and Sherman for They/Them/Us. I know Potter best for her 21 episodes of Boston Legal (2004-05) and 103 of Parenthood (2010-15); Hannah for Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and Sliding Doors (1998); and LaPaglia for Empire Records (1995), 18 episodes of Murder One (1996-97), and Lantana (2001). Thomas played little Elliott in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and is also known for Gangs of New York (2002) and four episodes of Better Things (2017) which is one of my favorite series, running for five seasons from 2016-22. Boreanaz is known for the serieses Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Bones (2005-17), neither of which I watched. I like Nicholson in everything, notably Seeing Other People (2004), Puccini for Beginners (2006), twelve episodes of Master of Sex (2013-14), seven of Mare of Easttown (2021), and I, Tonya. I remember liking Bierko in Cinderella Man (2005) and fifteen episodes of Boston Legal (2006-07). Then Harold Ramis (1944-2014), better known as the director/writer of Meatballs (1979), Caddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), and Groundhog Day (1993), also acted in the latter three. All of the above have many other roles to their credit.

This was Pomerance's feature debut after writing two series episodes and he has no newer credits. Endelman has done much composing before and after this movie, including one of my all-time favorites, Flirting with Disaster (1996).

This was not favorably reviewed on Rotten Tomatoes with few details. Nonetheless, we were entertained, and watched it April 13 on Prime Video.
