a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is quite a hidden little gem of a romance, and one you should try to discover.The story revolves around Street Performer, Magician and part-time Book store worker, Josh (Anthony Michael Hall) and his two more worldly wise (??) friends Tim and Sean. Josh is looking for love where as his two friends are looking for lust (with varying degrees of success and quality).The story is gentle and more than a little believable (if you overlook the usual "Friends" faux pas that a lowly worker/performer can live in a nice large apartment without starving to pay the rent and in this case dine out regularly). The stand point of both Josh and Doreen (the love interest) will ring true with most singles the world over along with their insecurities and anxieties. The romance is slow but sweet without being cloying.The second plot line, the two friends helping to find love for Josh in the Lonely Hearts Ads is a little hit and miss, although the "Interview" sequence to find their top three is quite funny.The look of the clothes and the scenery gives the 80's impression which is hard to shake off. That and the carefree attitude to random sex seem out of place in a 21st century film but if you let your imagination take you back to the days of Dynasty and Robert Palmer videos you can excuse this.This is a good solid cast, the four main actors more than hold their own and provide a little escapism for 90 minutes or so. More believable than Pretty Woman for those of us still paddling in the singles pool.

Well, I'm not cinema professional, so I have no right to judge how actor plays, how camera works and so on. But in general this movie made me feel positive (what happens not so often). Of course, this movie is quite simple, but it contains positive example of communication between man and woman, small pickup lesson and interesting behavior patterns (there are some things to model, in terms of NLP). For me it is interesting to see how people can behave to be interesting, so if you're looking for the girl of your dream, this movie is good to tune up yourself for successful and positive communication with woman. And it is also pleasant to see (for guys like me) how guy from 'lover league' have success with girl from 'upper league'. For me, this move contains more positive charge, than many high-rated movies. Moreover, I like soundtrack.

We just finished watching this on DVD. I like A.M.H. He's done his hard knocks. With that in mind, we rented the movie.The film was a bit disjointed. Half an hour into the movie someone secondary character starts with a direct-to-camera monologue -- which was fine, but it just came out of the blue. That treatment was repeated a few times and it worked once the precedent had been set. My girlfriend and I both do community theater. The direction of the play made us both think that it had been adapted from a stage play but that there were moments where the director didn't quite know how to make a scene work. Cathfinn's (other commenter) point is very valid about the borderline softcore porn opening scene. Almost like the director put that in on a dare. Doesn't contribute one lick to the plot and the dialogue about the archetypes of women could have been better supported.Most of my problems with this movie has to do with the director's decisions. The acting was adequate or better; the plot was sound; the scene changes and camera shots did a lot of harm to the picture as a whole.***(Possible spoiler)*** Our biggest problem was with the two buddies. Throughout most of the movie, they're a couple of "playahs"; masters of the one night stand. They begin some inevitable progression as a result of Josh's search. Great. Then, once Josh seems to have found someone, they both totally regress into their pre-growth mindsets and then, a little later, seem to (but not clearly) suggest that they might be back on the learned track. Waaaay to up & down to be credible.

The story is lame. The acting is terrible. It's one of those films that opens poorly and you sit and think that it just has to get better. Don't hold your breath. If someone forces you into a room to watch this film, run...do not walk...to the nearest exit. The film contains a string of unrelated cheesy shots of many women who I am sure are very beautiful in real life. But the photographer seems to have gone out of his way to make them appear ghastly. The marketing for this film promises a chick-flick for Valentines Day. What the director delivers is a poorly written concept about a guy who is tempted to take advice from his friends about finding a girl. He should have spent some time finding better friends first. These are people you do not want to visit. This is not "Sleepless in Seattle". It is more like "Brain-Dead in the Big City".
