Quirky sexy romance, reminds me of a girl I once dated....I wonder where she is now.

It's a little odd. And I like that. Different from most rom coms. Some people probably don't realize that it's a comedy. Maybe that's a problem with watching it at home, as opposed to watching it in a crowded theater with an audience laughing. On the other hand, if you like edgy sexy indie films, you'll find this interesting. It is skillfully directed. Reminds me of the director, Stanley Kubrick (the Shining with Jack Nicholson). For some, it might be too real. For some, not real enough. I got into it.

Oh, yeah, and it reminded me a a college girlfriend. When I was going to UCLA, a lot of people thought I was weird and stayed away from me. But this hot blond (I'll call her Alison) , who everyone wanted, connected with my humor and would sit down on the bench next to me and laugh at my stories. Then, because Alison was there, other people sat down next to us, and because she thought I was so cool, the other people thought I was so interesting. This was in the Theater Arts department. So now I had a following, all because of her. And I started to write plays, which were produced at UCLA. Alison drew cartoon advertisements for the play. People came. Even studio executives came and wrote letters to the UCLA faculty, complementing the production and the discovery of an up and coming writer. I had transformed from the weird loner to the up and coming interesting writer on campus. All because this one hot and wild college student connected with me.

After graduation, when everyone else was getting jobs or going to grad school, Alison became a stripper at a place near the airport. Later on, I became a lawyer, and that caused Alison to stop her friendship with me. She felt I had sold out on the underground life.

Anyway, this film, reminded me of her.
