Quinn (Simon Helberg, writer, director) is almost dysfunctional from his phobias and not as funny as Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" He wants to propose to Devon (Melanie Lynskey) a college professor and girlfriend of 10 years. They go back to High School. However, whenever the moment is upon them, she must leave. Quinn works in a flower shop and confides his plan to Kelsy (Maggie Grace) his hot long time friend. At this point she informs Quinn of her love for him and desire to do the nasty. This sets off a downward and ruinous spiral as Quinn attempts to win back the love of his pathetic life, not knowing when to speak or when to shut up.

Quinn, our protagonist was basically unlikable. He is a man with flaws on top of his flaws. It is as if someone explained to Simon Helberg what a Woody Allen movie was like and he attempted to create one without ever seeing one and on half the intellect. This is a different type of romantic comedy that doesn't feel like a romantic comedy but more like a tragedy. It will certainly attract some die hard indie fans, but I am not one of them.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, no nudity.
