    looking for Woody
    New Yorker Allan Martin (Saul Rubinek) is struggling with his singledom. His best friend Brian Reed (Gerrit Graham) breaks up with his girlfriend. They run a little-seen local cable news program. Allan is desperately looking for the one. He even goes to the police to do a missing person sketch. He meets his dream girl, Maria Giannini (Marcia Strassman), and she promptly tells him to F off.

    I've never heard of this movie. I'm surprised to see a few familiar faces. Andrea Martin and Christine Baranski have a couple of fun scenes. I get the attempts at humor although they're not making me laugh. Saul Rubinek is not really a funny leading man. He's trying to be Woody Allen, but he's not the same. He has since become a great support actor.
