Not only the romantic comedy's most outrageous scenes but also the multiple meanings of its trendy tag line, "Sometimes Love Blows." "It means love sucks, always hurts and has setbacks," said Prada-wearing Alba, who claims finding the right partner is equally difficult for both men and women. "And I guess there are obvious sexual implications." Apparently the multilayered expression also has literary, religious, climatic and boxing connotations. "It's a tribute to Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind,'" claimed Fogler. "It's weather-related and extremely spiritual," countered Ross. Director Mark Helfrich insisted that "love blows in the first scene, check it out." Cook didn't buy these explanations. "It was written by a marketer who's really angry with his wife," he concluded. "We may never know what he was thinking." The significance may become clearer when "The Heartbreak Kid," with Ben Stiller, is released next month. Its slightly simpler tag line is "Love Blows." >J.S.M. CAPTION(S): 2 photos Photo: (1 -- color) Amy Brennenman and Maggie Grace ALBERTO E.
