Storyline
Alex Theodopolous is a mid-40s, divorced Greek-American who has moved back to the spacious estate of his autocratic immigrant father, who is also his boss in the family's successful antique importing business. He meets Shiela Shea through a dating service, but their first date turns into an unmitigated disaster when they are caught in thundershower during an outdoor concert, and Alex's car malfunctions. Twenty-something Sheila is part of traveling rock band which lives a gypsy-like existence in a communal loft under their controlling leader. Can Alex and Shiela overcome cultural, age, and lifestyle differences and find happiness? Written by duke1029@aol.com

Robert Altman tries the romantic comedy genre in this offbeat and engaging film. It stars fellow Altman alumni Paul Dooley ( A Wedding, O.C. & Stiggs) and Marta Heflin ( Come Back to the Five & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean) as an unlikely pair matched by a computer dating game. Both give excellent performances. If you are tried of being over saturated with formulaic, predictable Julia Roberts/ Hugh Grant comedies this film is a refreshing change of pace. Unfortunately it has never been issued on video, ( I had to acquire a pirated copy) and rarely screened.
