The beautiful Greek setting and some tongue-in-cheek casting choices almost totally redeem this otherwise vapid stab at aping Woody Allen.
Director/star Matthew D. Panepinto channels both Woody Allen and Jeff Goldblum as a vain, rapid-talking film director whose unfaithfulness prompts his wife to walk out and board a plane to picturesque Santorini, Greece.
As the wife, Deirdre Lorenz is charming and alluring in a role that begs credulity that she'd ever have looked twice at an obsequious cad like him in the first place.
She co-wrote the film with Panepinto, and unfortunately neither found it important to explore that Billy Joel/Christie Brinkley aspect to their relationship, nor to explain why the wife chooses to bolt to Greece, as opposed to anywhere else in the whole wide world.
But this is a positive review despite those shortcomings, and here's three reasons why:
1. Santorini, Greece is jaw-droppingly beautiful
2. Ice-T as a horny psychiatrist with a hot babe receptionist
3. Richard Belzer as a gay film producer with a little foo-foo dog. Richard Belzer totally kisses a guy full on the lips
All three have to be seen to be believed, and make this indie worth a watch, especially since it's free.
