This sounds like another one of those cliche formula love stories where a guy and a girl meet and it takes them an entire movie (albeit two days or two years) to say something that could have been said within maybe five minutes of meeting each other.
To quote Roger Ebert:
"Because this is an Idiot Plot, in which no one ever says what obviously must be said to clear up the confusion."
"Here is the most tiresome and affected movie in many a moon, a 114-minute demonstration of the Idiot Plot, in which everything could be solved with a few well-chosen words that are never spoken. The underlying story is a simple one: A man and a woman who are obviously intended for each other are kept apart for an entire movie, only to meet at the end. We're supposed to be pleased when they get together." (He was talking about Till There Was You in this review)
