DVD Review: Picking the Wrong Guy Until...
Summary: 3 Stars
The film opens with answering machine messages from guys breaking off dates with Jamie (Marguerite Moreau), underscoring Jamie's main problem: the love 'em and leave 'em guys she gravitates toward. When a seemingly promising relationship with John (Naveen Andrews) ends, she vows to get to know the next guy before taking off her clothes, as she says, and begins 90 days of celibacy. During those 90 days, she meets Mick (Brian F. O'Byrne) and actually does get to know him.
Jamie's first meeting with John is full of the nervousness most of us can relate to as we build up the courage to go talk to a guy we find attractive. She promises herself and her sister that she won't sleep with him but she does anyway, justifying it with the familiar sentiment that she was afraid of losing him. She and John share some tender and awkward moments, until he tells her his ex has returned. It's terrible to watch her cry in front of him, and Naveen Andrews conveys regret convincingly just as he conveyed tenderness in his role in the film "The English Patient".
While swearing off men and cigarettes, she goes to her acupuncturist neighbor (D.B. Woodside) who is so handsome and sweet to her I wish he'd had a more dynamic role in the movie. She meets Mick who's also getting treated, and they begin a friendship laced with growing attraction. When John attempts to win Jamie back, she struggles with the hurt he caused and her new feelings for Mick. Jamie seemed to really want to be with John while she hesitates with Mick, making it hard for us to take sides and cheer for one guy or the other. I want her to do what's best for her, but it's hard to discern if she's choosing one over the other or just reacting and bouncing off each one into the other. But the film conveys the confusion of being in the middle of this kind of situation and it does not lay on any heavy moralizing about it. The plot has the usual misunderstandings that cause arguments between the lovers, and the camera stays with these unpleasant moments, giving the film a satisfying realism many romantic comedies stay away from. The subplots support the main theme of love and trust.
Wonderful, evocative, and heartfelt music by Grant Lee Phillips sets the mood and creates smooth transitions between scenes and shifts in the story. The light seems washed out in a few scenes, and the film has the feel of an indie picture, almost a documentary at times, as if we are visiting Jamie in her apartment as she goes through her struggles. The camera work echoes how adrift Jamie is in the world, unanchored and easily blown about by changes until she begins to get a grip on herself.
Jamie's hair and apartment are always a mess, and she personifies the pain of the search for the right guy, the roller coaster of hope, excitement, disappointment and the crying. I thought the subplot with the sister took a nasty turn, but the characters just accept it and move on. I wanted them to fight it out like the siblings did in the film "She's the One". There's an odd scene of Jamie encountering a woman who wants to jump off the building because her husband left her; the scene feels a bit like a device for the plot. It touches on Jamie's loss of her mother which is revisited later but not fully. It shows us just a hint of her relationship with her father that leaves us wanting to know more. At the end of the film, Mick provides an endearing shift in the meaning of the movie's title.
