I saw this one at the Roxbury Film Festival and it brought down the house. Many moments of warm, engaging comedy (Jay Brooks dancing is priceless.) But underneath its typical romcom plot line (hapless male hero, has issues with commitment, meets the girl who may change everything, but is it too late?) is smart and incisive commentary on gender, aging and ambition, with a hint of race relations for flavor.
On a side note, Lia Johnson is incredibly sexy and charming as the main female lead. I don't know many actresses who could put neon yarn in her hair without seeming like a self-conscious teenager or a vagrant, but she pulls it off with panache. Hopefully we'll see more of this lovely actress in the future!
