This is a movie about a guy trying to make a movie. His marriage has just ended so he comes up with the idea to make a movie about him dating 20 different girls. And if he's lucky, he gets to do his movie and find true love at the same time.With this synopsis and Tia Carrere at the box cover, I figured "this movie could be OK". Trust me, it isn't!Maybe I totally missed the point, but amongst a lot of pointless movies out there - this is the absolutely WORST movie I have EVER seen!!! I bought the DVD for 10 SEK (=$1.40) and I want my money back... enough said.

Myles Berkowitz stars and direct's his version of the difficulties in finding a date near the end of the 21's century. While Myles can be annoying and shallow as the New York version of a California Vally Girl, he personifies the distress a 30ish single American male experiences attempting to find a date. I'd love to have his problems: his producer wants him to date a porno star, Tia Carrere and a host of beautiful California women.

The summary is a bit redundant: Mockumentaries, as a genre, are fairly quirky.In this case, recently divorced Myles, also a wannabe filmmaker, decides to make a documentary about trying to find true love in L.A. He commits to going on 20 dates and recording the results. Unfortunately, halfway through, he falls in love with one of his dates and now has to figure out how to complete the project without alienating his new love.What makes this different from standard mockumentaries -- and what some of the other IMDB reviewers seem to be missing -- is that, while it's clear that the final film isn't a true account of the events (some of the dates are obviously faked, and Elie the villainous producer can't really be THAT evil), it isn't so clear whether Myles Berkowitz (credited as writer and director, as well as star) started out with a serious intent to make a documentary, or whether it was meant to be fiction from the outset.Most of the evidence points to Berkowitz' initial sincerity. This *is* his only film (except for a bit part in "No Small Affair," 16 years before this movie), and Elie *is* listed as Executive Producer. The official budget *is* the stated $60K. Most of the early dates seem real -- it's only the later ones that start to feel scripted, especially the feminist ballerina.One thing that gives this movie its charm, then, is that while Myles (the character) fumes about the way in which his original vision for the movie is eroding away from pressure from Elie, Berkowitz (the filmmaker) seems to be going through the same genuine quandary for a different reason -- it didn't take his full 20 dates to find love, and NOW what's he supposed to do?The cover job is both charming and disorienting: He goes back over the old footage and edits it so it looks like it could have been a mockumentary from the start, but plays it from the hip so it looks like a mockumentary pretending to be a documentary.Wouldn't Robert McKee be proud?Others might not have the same sense of pride. The film will come off as either a clever if ham-fisted attempt to make lemon footage into lemonade, or a pretentious and annoying trip into the avenues of Independent Film by a blind drunkard.Viewer's choice, and it seems to depend on what the viewer thinks of Myles: Is he annoying, or is he cute?I thought he was cute, and while the film is hardly a classic, it's worth a try. Look for it on cable (that's where I found it), and if you're sick of it after half an hour, turn it off and not much lost.

If you want to know why people find Divorced Jewish Men sex starved idiots see this movie. Love is not on their agenda. They have been dumped and they just do not get it. And how can anyone believe that any of this was real??
