This was a pretty generic rom-com that played with the notion that you can be looking in all the wrong places for love. Mel spent so much time chasing after Diana before he realized that his true love was right in front of his face. It was interesting to see his character shift from the "playboy" who thought he would only have one night stands, to someone who has to confront their own intimacy issues to finally see what is in front of them. I enjoyed the use of Daphne and Casanova as an allegory for the love building between Mel and Ginger, showing that true love can come in an unexpected form.

I really enjoyed this movie. While it did touch on typical romantic stereotypes the one element that touched me revolved around the concept that people are looking for love for the wrong reasons. People can be so shallow when it comes to relationships. Love is not appearance or status or wealth or popularity, it is how the other person makes you feel and how you make them feel when they are in your presence. Daphne and Casanova really stole the show. They didn't care that they were different. They made each other complete. They didn't want to go on without each other.....Amazing what you can learn from a goldfish and a frog.
