Plot

The film features the rivalry between two San Francisco Bay Area newspapers and their main writers, both of whom are single with their friends and family constantly trying to set them up with that special someone. Tom Lane is the star columnist for the fictional ''San Francisco Sun'', a newspaper owned by a media conglomerate. The ''Sun'' owners are thinking about increasing Tom's exposure by producing a new television show around him. Meanwhile, Liz Madison is the advice columnist for the ''Marin County Voice'', a small community newspaper which is a throwback to gentler times, but struggling with circulation. On November 2, the staff at the ''Voice'' learn that the ''Sun'' ownership has bought their newspaper, with the probable goal of folding it into the operations of the ''Sun'', meaning the staff at the ''Voice'' will lose their jobs. To fight back, Liz decides to change her column to an editorial, espousing the meaning of Christmas and the ''Voice'' to the community. Liz's feisty and entertaining stance of her new column results in the ''Voice'' increasing its circulation so much so that the ''Sun'' ownership has second thoughts about folding it. However, keeping the ''Voice'' in circulation would, in turn, put Tom's new television show in jeopardy. To protect his career advancement, Tom decides to write a counterpoint column to Liz's, his about instilling some practicality into Christmas. The competing columns become a personal battle for the two columnists. But as Tom and Liz spew their mutual loathing for each other, their respective friends try to convince them of the old adage that there is a fine line between love and hate.
