Sweet, funny romantic comedy for mature audiences.

Audience Reviews for The Tao of Steve
Super Reviewer
Downfalls of the movie are casting, some of the acting is bad but the lead actor from Grounded for Life delivers. Shot in New Mexico which makes the settings more interesting and open. Good overall film.
