      Parker Concorde: [apartment hunting] So, you don't have a problem rooming with guys?

      Samantha: No. I mean, before David it was Dean, and then before Dean it was Philip, and before Philip... Well, anyway, you get the point. Yeah, I... I feel safer living with a man. Plus, I made some great friends.

      Parker Concorde: So, you're not worried about things turning... romantic?

      Samantha: Romantic?

      Parker Concorde: I mean, you're very... You're a very attractive woman.

      Samantha: Oh, thank you, Parker. That's why I only live with men who are gay.

    Bent beginning and straight end.
    This isn't unusual. This is quite common, men doing anything to be close to their dream women, for example, Parker meets the women of his dreams while shopping.and then, Parker's apartment burnt down and he was desperate to get another one and he did, but fortunately he had to be gay, because the girl who offered it to him (The women of his dreams)hates straight guys BECAUSE THEY ARE PIGS!

    Soon, Parker gets close to her and soon she thinks he is bisexual. You all must've remembered that when she was speaking to him and she didn't know that.

    Coming to the end, she realizes that he isn't gay and when she breaks up with her lover , she gets even closer to him and she falls in love with him at the end.

    If you only knew is an over competent movie to me, in other words, it's over average. The acting was good, and the actors and actresses who were casted into this movie performed well. And as you know, this is just a typical romantic comedy, because they fall in love at the end and a few chuckles through out the film.The location was a good pick, because, love usually happens in the city, because, they are a lot of fine people to meet out there.
