He went from the eye of the storm, into the arms of a hurricane.

1999105 min5.5 / 10

A lighthearted romantic comedy about two strangers forced together by circumstance during a hurricane, built on charm, banter, and the collision between a man's orderly life and a woman's chaotic energy.

Ben Holmes, a professional book-jacket blurbologist, is trying to get to Savannah for his wedding. He just barely catches the last plane, but a seagull flies into the engine as the plane is taking off. All later flights are cancelled because of an approaching hurricane, so he is forced to hitch a ride in a Geo Metro with an attractive but eccentric woman named Sara.
