User Reviews

One of the better Rom/Coms in a while

The amazing thing about this script, I learned while talking to the director after the showing at the 2003 Hollywood Underground Film Festival, was that it was the writer's first attempt. The story has a good pace and doesn't drag in the second act the way so many romantic comedies do... August is a well-drawn character, and the scene where they meet in the men's room is really a very strong example of solid comedic writing.

There are a few issues I had with the film, but they were not enough to deter the fact that it was solidly written, well acted, and competently directed. Very nicely done.
