Art Altounian pulls together a great cast of characters for this romantic comedy with a twist. Not a huge twist, but enough of one that you understand why it would be difficult for the couple you want to end up together to end up together. I enjoyed every minute of the film. The dialog is snappy and humorous, and the characters go far beyond stereotype and into depth, a feet well accomplished for this first time director. The acting is all fantastic, and while the situation becomes almost unbelievable, Art reels it in and acknowledges the absurdity, making it all believable again. Well done. The only disappointment here is that it's not shot on film, however you quickly ignore the interlace flicker as your sucked in by the story.
