Customer Reviews

Good soundtrack, bad movie
This movie follows my observation that a good soundtrack album (unfortunately, no longer in print) means that the movie itself is poor.

The story of single life in Manhattan pretty much ends up where it started, with Saul Rubinek's character searching for the meaning of love and almost getting married, but still doesn't know where he's going.

In the meantime, the tale goes from the bizzarre (he literally rows away from a bad date) to the tacky (a singles weekend in the Adarondaks), but leaves the viewer wondering why he wasted 1 1/2 hours of his time with an uneven, unresolved, somewhat depressing story. Seeing Marcia Straussman (better known as Julie Kotter) utter the F-word a couple times doesn't help things, either.

Soup for One and The Personals make for Great Double Bill
When I think of movies that fit together, Soup for One, The Personals,Eating Raoul,Ky. Fried Movie and The Groove Tube make for a perfect fit. What do you think? While the last three are more famous and easier to find, I feel the first two should get a good look from comedy lovers who enjoy comedy about dating do's and dont's and just being single in a large city. An hour and a half well spent.
