action
David Kulovic works as a plumber in New York City . He meets numerous women who are more willing to have fleeting affairs than a long-term relationship. Kulovic steals a script she wrote from his new neighbor, Toni Edelman, a writer. He shows the script to some actresses and lies to the women that he is David Copelberg, a director who wants to make a new film. His friend RJ Martling acts as a casting expert. The project becomes known in the industry; there is an entrepreneur who invested two million dollars. Edelman is pissed off at first, but then she persuades Kulovic to actually make the film.
The actress Marliss Funt is hired for the main role, instead of an equally interested star - because Kulovic finds her more suitable for the role. She finds Kulovic fascinating and makes an appointment with him, which makes Edelman jealous. Edelman and Kulovic kiss and have sex. The author becomes jealous when Kulovic comforts Funt and hugs Funt, but the latter can clear the situation.
It turns out that Kulovic had inflated some customers' bill. His pictures, taken with a hidden camera, are shown on television. The financier fires Kulovic, Edelman and Martling, but after a while he visits the plumber and wants him back as a director. Kulovic convinces him that Edelman is important to the project (he compares her to Cyrano von Bergerac and himself to Christian de Neuvillette) . She takes over the direction and Kulovic takes over the job of the catering assistant. He later tells Edelman that he enjoyed working as a director. The last scene shows him and Edelman at work discussing film details.
Reviews
Kenneth Turan described the film in the Los Angeles Times on October 18, 2002, as "a clever, sweet, and playful romantic comedy ." Like Ed's Next Move from 1996, it shows the director's sensitivity. Martin Donovan as well as Mary-Louise Parker are the right cast of the roles played. Parker's “ intelligent ” and “ confident ” portrayal is particularly “ remarkable ” .
