Synopsis:
Synopsis: SPENCER (Jesse Bradford Bring
It On, Clockstoppers) had a crush on the adorable MELORA (Mia
Kirshner Exotica. Mad City) when he was 10 years old, but
in those days she was unattainable. Fifteen years later, they
meet again in Los Angeles when she crashes her car into his
at a traffic light.
When Spencer learns they will both be working in the mail
at the same advertising agency, he knows he now has two missions
in life: to become the agency’s superstar and to win
Melora’s heart.
Spencer is renting a room in a ramshackle mansion owned by
two hipster doofusses named EZRA (David Krumholtz Ten Thing
I Hate About You, The Mexican) and FELDY (Adam Goldberg Saving
Private Ryan). The two are budding filmmakers who continually
disrupt Spencer’s life as they busy themselves shooting
their most personal movie, which they plan on submitting to
a film contest. They ask Spencer to play the male lead in
return for rent-free living for two months and he readily
agrees. Only when they begin shooting does he find out the
naked truth that he is the star in a porn movie and has to
deliver his lines with no clothes on.
Back in the mailroom, Melora is stuck in a self-destructive
relationship with CRAIG (Brad Rowe Billy’s Hollywood
Screen Kiss, The 70’s), an executive at the advertising
firm. No wonder than when Spencer steps into the triangle,
introduced by a loopy mailroom clerk LOUIS (Giovanni Ribisi,
Gone in Sixty Seconds, Saving Private Ryan), the relationship
between the three becomes a crazy and funny dance of love
and hate.
When everything seems to hit rock bottom, the advertising
agency loses its most valuable client. That’s showtime
for Spencer to change his fortune from being the biggest loser
of all time to becoming the savior of the day. Throughout
this consistently surprising romantic comedy, we et to know
Spencer’s grandmother. Although she’s been in
heaven for sometime, she visits her grandson at crucial moments
to give him her grandmotherly advice.
If you want to know just how happy the ending is, you should
stick with every last laugh of this witty comedy.
