CGiii Comment
Okay, so if you want to make a movie with a ridiculous storyline - watch this.
Women writing and directing gay men, devastated gay men at that, they cannot fully understand the deep-running emotions that are involved - so why bother?
As for credibility - well, that goes flying out the window.
It's a mess from start to finish - feminism gone mad.
Wexler and Powers neither a double act nor a perceivable talent - singularly or together.

The(ir) Blurb...
Screwball romance involving a woman (Makkena) who gets fired from her job as a bank teller when her friends arrange for a stripper to appear at the bank for her birthday. She then meets a man (Hickey) whom she had earlier seen jump off a bridge and had assumed had committed suicide. With nothing else to do, she follows him to Texas. Along the way she slowly comes to realize he is gay and is despondent over the AIDS-related death of his former lover.
