Title: Seven Girlfriends for One Guy
Product review: Okay,the title doesn't have the ring of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."Tim Daly plays Jesse,the Chef Who Can't Commit.As his character has problems with commitment,so does the director with the tone of the movie.Is it drama?Is it romantic comedy?Is it supposed to be funny?To complicate matters,there are dream sequences,such as when his ex-girlfriend who died in a car crash comes alive at her funeral.There's a love scene within an inflating hot-air balloon(???)There are incriminating photographs that fall from a ceiling,and eventually land in pudding&among; mourners.There's an endless drive with the insomniac heroine.There's even a scene when Jesse meets up with a lesbian ex-girlfriend.The hero's "self-discovery" isn't exactly convincing since the director doesn't seem to know what genre to use.This belongs in a cheesy film festival,not ranked with "High Fidelity."It doesn't take itself seriously;neither should you.
