Perfect cast and a good story

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

My favorite line from the movie is "I need love like water and food." Julie Davis wrote, directed and starred in this movie. Usually, when someone tries this, it becomes a vanity production with poor acting, poor direction and poor writing. That is what makes this film so amazing, it manages to have great acting, great direction and great writing all together. Julie Davis is a female Orson Welles.I do not believe that there is a better romantic comedy around. It has the perfect blend of romance and comedy and even a few very soft-core sexy moments that put it above "Must Love Dogs" and "The Holiday".It is now seven years since the movie was made and Julie Davis has not acted, written or directed anything since. That is truly sad. She deserved to become a superstar after this fabulous film.

This movie is absolutely dreadful. It was written and directed by one Julie Davis, who also has the ignominy of "starring" in it as the title character. The plot is a bunch of romance / relationship story clichés. The dialogue is stilted and obnoxious. All of the characters speak in the same manner, and their tired psycho-babble monologues all have one obvious source (Julie Davis apparently), and to make matters worse none of it is surprising or new or interesting or original in the least, just a bunch of witless repetition.This movie is billed as a comedy, but the jokes mostly fall flat. I should have turned the TV off 15 minutes into this thing, but sometimes I get the urge to "rubberneck" at ugly train wrecks like this one, all the while wondering exactly how much money was wasted in producing it, as well as wondering why the "Sundance" channel was airing it instead of a test pattern or an infomercial.

There are many engaging and titillating sequences in this low-budget production that is written, stars, is directed by, and co-produced by Julie Davis. But, it is as uneven and ultimately frustrating as any comedy you've ever rooted for to succeed. Since many other reviewers have done a thorough job of identifying and critiquing the maddeningly confusing inconsistencies of this subversively anti-feminist treatise masquerading as a stereotyped pro-feminist fictionalized autobiography that rails against society's stereotypes only to find that some stereotypes are stereotypes because they are true, I will merely add that I heard deafening echoes of past sellouts such as ABC's debacle called "The Great American Beauty Contest" and Jane Fonda's character "admitting" that all women only go to college to find husbands in the movie "Tall Story." [That was all just one sentence, folks!]What makes the above one-sentence summary such a shame is that writer Davis did seem to have some interesting ideas to convey and actor Davis conveyed some of them quite engagingly. More frustrating still is that Director Davis did an excellent job of pacing the movie and adding cute visual ideas on a low budget, and did a SUPER job of making satiric statements through wardrobe choices. Yet, Director Davis hadn't a clue how to direct actor Davis who, in turn, threw away some of the best lines written by writer Davis. It is unknown to what extent co-Producer Davis played in the ultimate cop-out decisions alluded to by the others in arriving at the unsatisfying ending that left so many of us feeling betrayed or cheated. But, at the same time, it is clear that Julie Davis is a woman of great wit, intelligence, and talent that is worthy of harnessing. Overall, this is fast-moving and enjoyable enough to spend 100 minutes watching. So, why not watch it on Showtime-on-demand, then arrive at your own conclusions?

Don't listen to most of these reviewers. This movie is fantastic!!! Definitely give it a chance. It's the kind of film that you can't stop smiling throughout . . . especially if you're single and in your 20's. I'm amazed it wasn't widely released.
