another firemen confesses that he's interested in Roxanne as well, but

wants to Roxanne through him. A comedic retelling of the classic Cyrano
de Bergerac, originally written by Edmond Rostand.

As romantic comedies go, probably one of the few I actually enjoy watching, if only for Steve Martin. While there's no huge revelations here, it's pleasant and funny - good enough for me.

I liked Martin in this but don;t care for Hannah -- never have. It is a charming romantic comedy and worth a watch.
