CGiii Comment

An atrocious title and ridiculously amateur packaging forced this little film straight to DVD.

It really didn't deserve a theatrical release...but, there are films that are far, far worse than this - that screwed money out of the movie-going public.

The lead is miscast - this is before Ryan Edwards hit the big time (watch the exceptional The Nines) - he possibly would have carried this movie rather than the instantly forgettable O'Connell.

Over-sensitive poofs may be offended - but, there are some funny moments.

The(ir) Blurb...

David Collins is a commitment-shy Los Angeles yuppie whose girlfriend of many years, advertising executive Sarah, gives him an ultimatum: commit or get out. David has two months to decide if he wants to stay with Sarah as she leaves town for a job in New York. Following the advice from his more outgoing friends, David hits the dating scene as he tries to find his one and only soul mate, a mysterious woman he sees again and again, but always gets away before he can talk to her.
