Finger on the social pulse of young Seattle

[archichick · 8/10 · 15 March 2009]

A social snapshot of the fast and loose relationships of young Seattle dwellers. Both guys and gals can relate to the characters who tangle up their romantic pursuits. Charming and witty but balanced with moments of raw candidness that is cavalier for first time filmmakers. Sex and the messiness of finding one's bearings in the dating world are met head on. Shannon Hillary's portrayal of Ginger expresses the insecurities so many young women face in the murky waters of dating. Easy to identify with a story narrated through the character's analysis of their love life. Isn't that exactly how we all tell our friends about our love lives?

dull low-budget fare

We've seen way too many movies about the dating scene to put up with this pretentious load. Another bunch of self-loathing interchangeable twenty-somethings "over analyze, obsess and freak out". No one is happy with their lot in life, so everybody has to sit around getting drunk and talking about how dissatisfied they are and how much relationships suck, and you're like -- please, GOD, put me out of their misery.

If nightlife in Seattle were really this dull, I would move.
