Movie Info

A man with little passion for either his job or his wife gets a wake-up call in this independently produced romantic comedy. Frank Whaley plays Alan, an L.A.-based advertising executive currently being wooed by a tech firm in Seattle. He's about to move himself and his significant other (Dawn Eason) to the rainier climate when, upon returning from the interview, he finds she's left him for another man (Adam Baldwin, at that). Uncertain of anything anymore, Alan tries to find solace in friends

Presented in an endearingly straightforward fashion and features a handful of performances that manage to elevate the familiarity into something capably entertaining.

Interesting romantic drama, not a great film but it sure has it's moments. Frank Whaley does a fine job. In looking at his bio on IMDB, he has made a lot of film appearances, but can never recall ever seeing him in anything. A few slow stretches keep this film from being completely successful, but worth a look.
