Description In this sentimental study of life, friendship, and romance, three girlhood chums attend college together. One, a straightforward, rather plain lass (Minnie Driver), sets her sights on the best-looking boy in school (Chris O'Donnell), and their tender relationship belies their differences. The film is based on a novel by Maeve Binchy.
