Storyline

Emily Jackson lives a fast-paced life. Always on the go, able to talk around the clock, with a sensitive soul she loves playing matchmaker for her friends. It's Emily's gay roommate and frequent companion Peter, who becomes again the subject matchmaking skills when handsome new photographer assistant Paolo arrives at the Vogue offices, where Emily works. She makes it her mission to bring the two men together. Unfortunately for her, she is so busy arranging a love connection between Peter and Paolo that she remains completely blind to the one suitor who longs to provide her with the loving companionship that she so cheerfully arranges for others. And so it does make sense that Peter, a screenwriter in the making, starts telling the story from his own point of view. Written by kerrsmith2306

Quotes

Therapist: Relationships are best measured by farting.
Peter Simon: Excuse me?
Therapist: The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage one is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy, "Ooh, did you fart," followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the "Fart Honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the ...

Nothing but a good movie!
11 March 2008 | by (Russian Federation) – See all my reviews

The first important note is that i had never intended to watch this film but when i started watching i just couldn't stop going further!When looking briefly,the plot seems pretty ordinary but the whole composition leaves you nowhere to run!The movie gets you and holds you to the very end just for you to enjoy good actors' jobs and well-worked music score. What about the story? OK,here it goes.It presents Jacks,who works at a glamorous magazine and shares a flat with a gay screenwriter Peter.Jacks sleeps with her ex-boyfriend James but doesn't seem to love him though she hardly attempts to break up with him either.Peter falls in love at first sight when he rushes into some guy at a hotel hall.The story follows them as they try to solve their problems and meet happy endings. The best thing about this film is that you never know where and when it is to meet its own end.And when it does you have something in your head to think about.And that's a great achievement nowadays!
