The casting is strong enough that the film does not miss a best friend; Lucy only has coworkers, making hers one of the sadder rom-com heroine backstories. — Amanda Dobbins
Her clothes nail an Eileen Fisher aesthetic; the sweaters, jeans and boots feel current, though the muddy long belted skirts at the family house are an exception. — Juliet Litman
Her deep red velvet New Year's Eve outfit echoes Meg Ryan's Christmas Eve outfit in Sleepless in Seattle, and the coat is back in style. — Juliet Litman
The handcrafting furniture maker played by Bill Pullman is an artsy boyfriend ahead of its time, a forerunner of Aiden in Sex and the City, and his furniture has aged better than Aiden's. — Juliet Litman
Walk-up apartments sucked in 1995 and still do. — Juliet Litman
The simple engagement ring is loved and likened to the ring Aiden gives Carrie; it also has to fit under the token slot. — Amanda Dobbins
The film is aspirational but not out of touch with how normal people live. — Juliet Litman
Jack's reversible jean jacket is loved; the hosts cite Ashley Spencer's Washington Post oral history, in which Bill Pullman is quoted as still having and wearing it. — Amanda Dobbins
The ranking settles on casting first, fashion second and the furniture boyfriend third. — Juliet Litman
