After stumbling upon one another while Christmas shopping for black cashmere gloves at Bloomingdale's, Jonathan (John Cusack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) exchange interested glares and words. Both have a significant other, yet both are still longing for love and a soul mate. They share a drink, a skate in Rockefeller Center, and an incredible night together that is then left to chance.
A few years later, Jon is set to marry Haley (Bridget Moynahan), while Sara has accepted an engagement from Lars (John Corbett), an eccentric musician. Jon's friend Dean (Jeremy Piven) and Sara's friend Eve (Molly Shannon) attempt to convince Jon and Sara respectively that maybe - just maybe - once in a lifetime can happen twice. Hats off to the casting crew for selecting Kate Beckinsale; she is an absolute pleasure to watch.
