Don't quit your day job

And by that I am not talking about our journalist/main character - who is being seen and treated as a sex object by almost everyone she encounters. But it is a comedy so you may be able to suspend your disbelief ... if not, then you already will have a problem with the movie and its sexist agenda - as some likely will feel.

That aside (again, you have to suspend your disbelief and take into account when this played and the audience it was targeted at - mostly male and so forth), the comedian cab driver ... that is the one that should not quit his day job. Whatever it is - quite clearly it is neither being a cab driver nor a comedian. At least not for me - his sense of humor or rather lack thereof - you'll either find his rantings and nonsense amusing or you'll be as annoyed as I was ... it is really a wonder why our main character seems so drawn to him ... there is no logical explanation especially because she ditches him as often as she can ... not often and fast enough if you ask me.

There is nudity here, but the main attraction is the comedy or sketches that ensue by our main character trying to be a reporter ... this really is a patch work and you'll have to be in a certain mood to actually be able to enjoy it.
