Summary: An archaeologist (Barry Watson) from 1000 years in the future uncovers a romance novel written in our time. Curious, he journeys back to find out about this thing called "love" from the novel's author (Sara Rue). Set in New Orleans.

Review: As far as TV romance movies go, this was a delight.  Okay the premise is hooky... man from future comes back to learn about love.  But amazingly, it is a cute little fun movie.  I really really liked it.  I think this is due to the actors as opposed to the plot itself.  Somehow Watson and Rue make the characters relatable.  The entire movie is simple, but a nice afternoon's worth of watching.

Best Bits: Elizabeth Barrett: I have no intention of explaining sex to a grown man one more time in my life.
