Nadine (Janeane Garofalo), a quirky entrepreneur, owns a dating service that is failing. She realizes that getting a date isn't the hard part, but getting through the date is. She decides that what singles really need is a dating "coach." Nadine develops a "fool-proof" dating guide that will guarantee anyone love. But, in order to be credible and save her business she must become her own client and win the love of one of the city's most eligible bachelors. The trouble is... she too has been unlucky in love. But...Nadine is determined to prove her faith in her new manifesto as she embarks on a mission of extreme dating and using any means necessary to get her man.

Not the Janeane I was hoping for.

I was disappointed in this movie. The delightfully sarcastic and grumpy Janeane Garofalo that I expected would entertain me was replaced by a weak and nervous character that made predictably embarrassing choices. It did not live up to "The Match Maker," which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT!!!

Reviewed by Margaret Low, 2009-02-14

I usually won't watch movies directed by anyone but Mizoguchi (Kenji), (Michelangelo) Antonioni,(Ingmar)Bergman and lots of undeservedly obscure Japanese, African, Eastern European, etc. directors (I should own stock in the Criterion Collection) -- and I LOVED this movie. I bought copies in bulk and sent them to all my friends and THEY REALLY LIKED IT THIS FILM, TOO. (The title and the credits are, indeed, unfortunate, to put it tactfully.) However, I thought the casting, acting, writing, direction and editing were all terrific. As you can deduce, I highly recommend this film!

Hilarious Romantic Comedy

I found this movie hilarious and quite enjoyable. The music is great and any Janeane Garofalo fans will be pleased. Sure you have to suspend some belief sometimes and the main plot setup is a bit far-fetched but for me the laugh out loud moments far outweighed any other considerations. Give this one a try.

OK for a Sunday Afternoon

No, this movie won't win any awards, but for a Sunday afternoon it wasn't a bad watch. I actually enjoyed the movie. Janeane was her usual angst ridden self. Tamala Jones was hilarious ("booty doo" cracked me up). I actually came to see if it was on DVD, and to my delight it is!

A wretched piece of work....Janeane (and her fans) deserve better...

This is a really bad, made for TV movie for the Oxygen network. Made for TV movies are generally below par, but this one is 400 notches below that. I couldn't even make it through the whole thing. It's extremely depressing to watch, because it's so badly written and directed. Seeing Janeane Garofalo in this tripe makes it especially painful as well. Knowing how articulate and intelligent she can be, it hurts to see her in this "film". Maybe she had bills to pay. She deserve better material, a lot better. She has a cult fan base, and perhaps they're willing to see her in any type of setting. I'm not, but I would love to see her in something brilliant. Despite all this, Janeane is still worth watching, no matter what she does. Me watching this garbage shows how much I like her as an actress.

The fact that this is out on DVD proves that they will put just about anything on DVD.
