It is simply not to be missed. During the mayhem of the holiday shopping season, two New Yorkers reach for the same pair of gloves at Bloomingdale's. The two hit it off, and decide to spend the evening together but ultimately part ways when Sara Thomas, played by Kate Beckinsale, argues that fate will bring them back together if that's what's meant to be. Years pass, and on the eve of his wedding to someone else, Jonathan Trager, played by John Cusack, feels he can't escape signs that are leading him to figure out where Sara ended up -- but all he has is her first name.
