[Bwick gives the man money and rings the bell. He hands it to Lucy]

Soundtrack:

Misunderstood

A new york woman and man search for love in the 30 year old singles scene

Essentially, I found this movie meaningless. Even though I do like Sarah Jessica Parker, Joe (played by Eric Schaeffer) seemed like an unnecessary jerk. He who has been watching through a telescope supermodel Elle MacPherson, suddenly becomes turned off by her when she admits to having fantasized about him. Dissapointing ending.
