Three guys must get into a relationship, and stay in them, or their boss will fire them. What? Is this the 1950s? What am I missing? Oh, no, wait? It's a bet between two guys...no...no wait...the first one...who knows?
The beginning is a mess. It's starts off in narration that made no sense in its use or execution of it. The first guy, who did the narrating, is watching his crazy girlfriend read a breakup card in front of him by another guy she's been dating. Apparently, he won't break up with her because her mother died three weeks into their relationship yet in the next scene they're apparently broken up (even though he just had a conversation with his friends about still being with her) and falls for a girl outside a bar who he thinks is a prostitute. Maybe it's not the girls he dates that are crazy but he's crazy and drives them insane?
The second and third guy, I don't know...one looks like a David Schwimmer clone and the other...I really didn't pay too much attention to though he seems overly vulgar, I think. So the 'clone' dude owes money to a gangster or mob boss or pimp, I don't know...and as collateral the guy is holding the engagement ring of his fiancé who apparently (unbeknownst to him) comes from a wealthy family and he refused to sign the prenuptial agreement, or something. So, he has to get some comic book. A little history lesson in comic books (more interesting than the film) is that in this film the comic book sought is from 1921 even though comic books didn't really come about until the 1930s. They existed before the 1930s but not as shown in the film. The one shown in the film didn't come about until the mid 1950s. Not the one the gangster shows them, that was more 1930s but the one the clone is holding at the end: 1950s modernized version. Comic books (actual hardcopy books) have existed in the U.S. since the early 1840s and some believe in Japan some time in the 1700s. Yes, useless information still...way better than the film.
I was looking for a night of Romance films with some mild Comedy thrown in; and that's how this film was listed. There was no comedy. It was a Drama with other genres thrown in,...really I don't think they even knew at a certain point what they were making. There's narration at the end, and a blooper reel but I didn't stick around for either one. There are two good things I will say about this film: the photography was pretty good. Well shot. And the soundtrack was good. The worst thing: the editing. It was choppy throughout.
