Donal Logue is terrific in the marginally-sympathetic role of a man whose zen-like system for picking up women nets him action inconsistent with his actual merits. A cast of unknowns (at least to me) also does admirable work in support. The dialogue is clever and well-written ("self-aggrandizing, solipsistic ego-queen" is my favorite movie insult in years). The only problem is that the story of the inveterate womanizer who meets the one lady who can make him go straight has been done to death. I felt creeping dread as the story played out, hoping I wasn't seeing what I was seeing. But alas, it does NOT veer from this sadly predictable course, which unfortunately defaces an otherwise excellent little film. I still award it a 7 out of 10 for its considerable strengths, but a ballsier story would have been appreciated.
