    John, Cameron, and Sarah discuss why this not-so-forgotten film was critically panned (and why the critics got it wrong).

    Return to Me (2000)

    John recaps this heart transplant rom-com (yep...) for Sarah and Cameron. It's about a woman named Grace who falls in love with a man named Bob, but the twist is, to quote the film, "Grace has Bob's dead wife's heart." Directed by Bonnie Hunt and starring, Minnie Driver and David Duchovny, this film is something to be remembered.

    Sweet November (2001)

    Charlize Theron plays a manic pixie dream girl who may have just as many issues as the man she's trying to fix (played by Keanu Reeves) in this month's episode!
