It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since this film debuted. It seems like only yesterday. While much of this was shot in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the movie takes place in Kentucky and some scenes were shot in Lexington and Louisville. Charles Ellis plays our hero, Morgan, who's band has just broken up. To relax, he takes a bath during his best friend's wedding reception. Wedding guests drift in and out of the bathroom and interact with him. Some are shocked to see him lying buck naked in the tub, while others are open to the idea. Among the initially shocked, is Katherine who Morgan met years earlier. I know it sounds like the plot to a SEINFELD episode, doesn't it? Well, the movie is not only funny, but romantic as well. Katherine ends up joining Morgan in the tub and -yadda yadda yadda- the two become romantically involved. Okay, maybe there was no yadda in the tub, just great conversation and plenty of tasteful nudity. It all takes place in a single afternoon, thus the tag line: "Some of the best romances only last a day." It also has some cool music and a wonderful supporting cast. I wish they'd issue a tenth anniversary DVD as this movie is nearly impossible to find now. In the meantime, I'll take a relaxing bath and wish for the best. Could you bring me back some champagne?
