The plot revolves around two rival Chicago reporters - old Peter Brackett (Nick Nolte) and young, aspiring Sabrina Peterson (Julia Roberts). Two of them are assigned to cover the train collision. As soon as they meet, they start scooping each other, but during the process they both discover sinister plot involving cancerogenic milk, and also the romantic feelings they have for each other. The plot in this film is rather secondary to its real raison d'être - romantic pairing reminiscent of classical screwball comedies starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Movie author, director and screenwriter Charles Shyer, who had some experiences with turning the screwball spirit into modern setting with FATHER OF THE BRIDE, tries again, this time pairing old Nick Nolte with young Julia Roberts. However, although there is some chemistry between the two, soon it stops to arouse any interest. It probably happens due to poorly executed genre mix, that collides light-hearted romantic comedy with rather uninteresting plot suitable to pure action thrillers. Shyer as director fails to make the proper transition between the two, and fails in both areas, making the story cliched and predictable. The end result is rather forgettable effort, which convinced me not to watch movie again. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, though.
