There are two moments of redemption, though -- the first is the mention of the Betsy-Tacy books, which are all time favorites of mine, and the second is the gorgeous view of Riverside Park in the spring that closes the movie.

You have to not think of it as a remake, then it's fine - the story is really pretty different, but it's also really the poorest of the Meg Ryan romcoms, so I don't think you are missing anything.
