Trivia:

There are several movie references in the film, most of which are acknowledged. One that is not is when Marty (Ron Livingston) tells Nina Cohen (Cara Buono), "You want to see God laugh? Make a plan." Nina responds, "I like that movie." That line is from the film, Kicking and Screaming (1995), which starred Cara Buono.

Goofs:

Continuity: Nina Cohen describes the Mustang she is buying from the ad in the paper as a 1966 Mustang. At the end of the movie, the Mustang is the 1965 model that she said she preferred.

Quotes:

Dave Trout:Problem with your droids?

Wonderful

A refreshingly original & hilarious romantic comedy...

Some romantic comedies have that one scene that everyone remembers - like Meg Ryan showing Billy Crystal how she can "fake it" in When Harry Met Sally. Well, this movie has a ton of them (although none better than the double-date at the restaurant!). Neil Turitz, in his debut as both writer and director, puts together a wonderfully refreshing piece in a genre that has become staler than stale. Well-written, with fine acting performances, make this quite a charmer. See this movie if you get the chance!!!
