Review :

Great Indie romantic comedy!

Although a bit cliché, (what romantic comedy is not) this little indie has some classic jokes and strong characters. I really enjoyed the sardonic humor of the main character - Avi.

I wish more films portrayed every day people like this more often, instead of shiny happy people who look like they came out of some fashion magazine.

I think we will be seeing more of both the lead (Modi Rosenfeld) and the director (Michael Rainin) in years to come.

Also, if you have the DVD, watch the bonus tracks, they are very, very funny.

This film also gave a pretty realistic look on the stand up comedy scene in LA and New York City and I checked and most of the actors are stand up comedians in real life.
