Is it love... or are they just imagining things?
[edit] Story
Developed under the working title, Loosely Based on a True Love Story, the movie is loosely based on the story of author Fyodor Dostoevsky, who dictated his novel, The Gambler, in 30 days in order to pay off a gambling debt—and in the process, fell in love with his young stenographer. In Alex and Emma, Alex (Wilson) is the author, who must repay a USD$100,000 debt to the Cuban mafia or face dire consequences. After his laptop is destroyed, he hires Emma (Hudson), a stenographer who talks as much as she writes. As Alex dictates his novel to Emma, the movie cuts away to scenes from the novel, where Adam (Wilson) falls for a series of nannies (all played by Hudson). Eventually life imitates art, and Alex and Emma fall in love. Modeled after the Audrey Hepburn movie, Paris, When It Sizzles.
Widely panned by reviewers ([1][2][3]), the movie made just over USD$14 million at the box office.
