We attended a screening of this film at Sundance 2007. We chose this movie because we are Parker Posey fans, and she indeed did a great job portraying Nora, a single 30 something woman who desperately wants to find a partner to accompany her through life. Her character keeps making unwise choices, however...such as dating an actor she meets while doing her job as a hotel customer service manager, among other "dead end" men. Finally, she meets a young Frenchman and falls immediately into bed with him. (well, she waits a whole 2 days before going to bed with him...apparently a difficult feat amongst young women these days...just an annoying comment on my part). They have a lot of chemistry and the story was enjoyable enough. I don't think this film will have a lot of commercial success, however, as it was too "artsy" for the average film-goer, who apparently want more of the Die Hard and Spiderman type movies and less of this.
Six months later: It's now July and the movie is starting to be released in theaters. I honestly cannot remember much about it, which indicates this was largely forgettable. I am disappointed that this was only a "so so" movie. There are so few films in this genre that I was truly hoping that it would be better.
