Overview
Dumped by her loser boyfriend, Erin's love life hits rock bottom when her overbearing mother places an embarrassing ad in the "personals" section of a local newspaper on her behalf. Erin's disgust turns to curiosity as she searches for the right guy in a hilarious series of disastrous dates. Meanwhile, a lonely ex-plumber named Alan clumsily searches for his dream job while narrowly missing one chance meeting with Erin after another.
In a weird kind of way this felt like an indie version of a movie like You’ve Got Mail. This movie had a ton of potential because of Ms. Davis, but it just never quite reached the heights that I thought it would. It probably didn’t help that the men in this movie were no great shakes.
