I really liked this one. The movie definitely grows on you, and then all the sudden you realize how wonderful it is. It really shows how our preconceived notions about love are sometimes what blocks us from seeing real love.... Full review

I like Brittany Murphy a lot but this is not the right kind of film for her. She's not a fashionista and lacks the kind of poise it takes to walk comfortably in high heels. Almost all of the shots... Full review

This movie had its US premiere last night at Outfest. I was at the screening and was enchanted with everything about this movie. It's an homage to romantic comedies that knows that a romantic comedy isn't anything like real life.... Full review

From numerous mentions of "Breakfast at Tiffanys" to an opening and closing containing stage directions from a script, writer/director Alek Keshishian imbues each character with a wit we dont see very often.
This is why the movie works as well as it does: we sympathize with these people, not just the characters, prompting us to want each to succeed in their own way.
