WARNING! THIS FILM IS RATED "PG"
Ok folks, let's not mince words here. This film stars Krista Allen, and there's a pretty girl in a thong on the back cover. Not to mention the lead actress appears on the cover in a string bikini. So what the average viewer expects is a romantic comedy with lots of bounce and jiggle. However, the flesh factor here is miniscule.
Even though this film is "unrated," it's not because of racy content. This film is a weak "R" at the very worst... but the reality is this is a strong PG-13.
You were warned.

Cinematic leather pants
Like many things in life, this movie is a luxury item. If you have the luxury of time and most of us do, take a moment to watch something that is rare today- a movie made by Hollywood outsiders. Most pop culture is not a necessity, despite the designers and movie makers touting "oh this is the most important movie, album, video, sweater set of all time." This is a fun movie, a couple of friends looking for love in the town voted by "Allure" magazine as the worst town for single people to find love. Yes, Miami. Lots of reasons but it proves that nice people can find love if they try hard enough- endure the mob, barking, vicious dogs, gun play, bumbling idiots, too much pie, and mental and emotional confusion. Most importantly, they don't give up. Also a nice friendship between two men. The movie sticks to its message and does not pretend to be something serious, it does not force Pete to mature, there isn't a climatic dénouement when the tone changes. it is meant to fun and it succeeds. Pete may never mature but he is a good friend and in love. So, watch the movie and enjoy. It is a nice movie, won't change your life but few things do. So, like many novels and other films, nice to have- like a pair of leather pants!

Great Cast, Lackluster Film
Well, if you're a fan of Krista, Kristin, Chris, or Brad (all of whom are underrated and underworked), you should check out this film because they are all really funny in it. From Krista's wacky Italian accident, to Chris' equally wacky facial expressions, all four of the primary cast prove they have a knack for physical comedy. However, the film itself lacks the production value needed to cut it with the rest of Hollywood's standards. For one thing, many of the shots are soft focus-- almost to the point of being just plain blurry-- which I don't believe was intentional: it looks like the Assistant Cameraman missed his mark while pulling focus one too many times. Also, the tone is not consistent throughout: there are moments that are full of lowbrow comedy and then moments that drag and bore as the sort-of-chuckle gets played to death. The lighting is often mismatched and overdone--much like a network three-camera sitcom. The soundtrack is superb, though, with three original hits from Ana Lovelis. This is an independent film at its very core: it was written and produced by two complete newcomers to the film world, and that shows. A nice first time effort, but very much an amateur film. It's almost surprising it brought in the name talent (and DP) that it did.
