Undistinguished, straight-to-tape comedy-drama about a group of young people in New York hoping to find true love, apparently made by a gang of Hollywood friends just out to have a little fun. It's a competently-made but forgettable trifle financed by Miramax and developed by the Sundance Institute, none of whom could get this thing into theaters. Written and directed by Adam Park, who has a TV sitcom sense of humor and sense of timing to match. The cast including Jennifer Beals, Drew Barrymore, James LeGros, Eric Thal and Jon Stewart (!) is an attractive bunch, but they aren't given anything interesting to say or do. * from ****
