Borrows from other movies

Lets see - you have the line lifted from when Harry met Sally " the first person I want to see when I wake up in the morning and the last person I want to kiss goodnight", the used book collecting hunting gimmick from Serendipity, the friend who realizes they are in love (Harry met Sally again).... any that I missed? I know I was making a mental list while watching it on TV.

Not a great film, but watchable. Isla was by far the best thing in this film.

It uses the Princess Bride's frame narrative with a parental figure telling a story to a slightly annoying kid who keeps interrupting it.

It copies off of "All the President's Men" because it mentions the president and you see him in the movie, he did something scandalous, it has a reporter in it (Summer), the similarities are unbelievable. Please..

There's a girl called Summer so it ripped off (500) Days of Summer.

I know it four years later and you might not see this, but I am pretty sure that comment was just sarcasm poking fun at the fact that all movies get ideas and inspiration from other films.

You took the comment too literally. It was intended to be ridiculous.
