Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time.

I just watched About a Boy; a movie about a man living off his father's singular hit. Do we have the same thing here? Writer/director Tiffanie DeBartolo only did this one film. It is a good one, and I can't understand why there has been no followup.

It may have been a little corny at times - a search for a may with the eyes and soul of Sinatra, but Ione Skye (Girls in Prison, Guncrazy, A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon) does a really great job as the dreamer that doesn't want to settle. As she says, "Pussy, pussy, pussy. pussy. We're all pussies. It's what we have to overcome in life, our pussiness." So true! It was also the best performance I have seen by Jennifer Aniston outside of "Friends." Maybe it was because she did it during the "Friends" period.

It was a cute movie, a little corny at times, but well worth watching.
