Hip, post-college romance with humor, 5 January 2004
Author: Amy Adler from Toledo, Ohio

Danny (Dean Paras, who also wrote and directed the film) is a struggling Hollywood writer working on a screenplay with his roommate. He's also a young womanizer with a lie to manipulate any romantic encounter. Unexpectedly, he falls hard for Corinne, a beautiful young actress. Should Danny use his arsenal of tricks or would it be better to be honest and upfront in the pursuit of his dream woman? Meanwhile, former girlfriend Renee (Neve Campbell) is out to sabotage any relationship Danny may pursue. Will Danny get back what he's been dishing out for so long?

This film has an attractive young cast that makes the film a pleasure to watch, even when the funny script proves uneven. Campbell and Stefan Brogren, as Danny's roommate, are a hoot. Then, too, the young Hollywood scene for ambitious wannabes is portrayed with some threads of realism. Those who like hip, post-college comedies with a modern take on romance will enjoy this film. Such viewers should try hard to locate it at the video store or library.
