Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Excellent but underrated film

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Okay, the acting is slightly subpar -- but it is romantic, funny, sweet and sexy -- what's not to like?Set in a small town, there is a new girl in town who is shaking some things up.This is the kind of movie you could watch again and again -- better with a girlfriend that for date nights though -- unless your girlfriend is your date, then you'll love it!!Take a chance on this light-hearted feel-good movie, you won't regret it. Know that it is not an "artsy" critically acclaimed movie. Just good fun!

No matter what film Jennifer Tilly is in I absolutely love her. She is not only original she is gorgeous and almost always she has me on the floor laughing my head off - and here she is at her best. She steals the film hands down and the rest of the cast as good as they are simply do not add up to the talent Jennifer Tilly has in her little finger. She is a treasure - a perfect example of why film remains relevant in a world where so much seems increasingly irrelevant. As far as the film is concerned I just thought of it as a showcase for Jennifer Tilly. The storyline was so fragmented and convoluted that my head was spinning - but it just made me all the more anxious for Jennifer Tilly's next scene and fortunately they always came when I needed them.

Love on the Side (a.k.a Deluxe Combo Platter - according to my DVD) is actually a pleasant surprise. Sure it doesn't match up with romantic comedies like Harold & Maude, and There's Something About Mary, but seriously, what romantic comedy does now-a-days? It's unfortunate that this movie isn't well known because it could've became really popular, or it could've been one of those indies which lies on the movie store shelf for ages. I say if you find it, watch it. It's not for all tastes because some scenes drag on too long but you could say its part of its charm. I recommend this film to romantic comedy lovers or if you've seen it and looking for another film similar to this, I recommend Mambo Italiano. Take a slice, relax and enjoy.

I just saw this at the Vancouver International Film Festival. It was refreshing to see a movie filmed in Canada that was actually set in Canada -- in Squamish no less. However, the movie was nothing to write home about. I've seen five movies so far in the festival and this was the least original. It was entertaining and had a few twists on the usual small-town romantic comedy, but in the end was somewhat formulaic.The movie centres around Eve, a waitress in a small-town diner who has pined for the local football star for years while he barely notices her. She worries about her weight and wonders if anyone will ever really love her. Enter Linda, a leggy blonde from the big city who puts things in motion.
