    Ah! The Joys of Stalking!
    While The Tide Rolls In details the flingy romance two schleps get into. The female is a sort of a unattractive, yet successful performer, doing a DREADFUL one woman show. The guy seems to be a desperate creature who is one short of a stalker when he follows her around after a show in which she chose the guy to join up on stage with her. After he keeps showing up, rather then phoning the police, the woman sort of FALLS for the guy. Now, if that's not really the WRONG thing to do, then I don't what is. Anyways, they go up and down the coast of France to perform her silly clown one woman show to large theaters (yeah right) to seniors homes (more likely). Anyways, they learn a lot of each other, and well, that's about it.. Pretty unremarkable.
