(2009) The Good Guy DRAMA

Co-produced, written and directed by Julio DePietro with the movie opens with a young man ringing on the door of a girl's apartment who she s with another guy. At this point viewers are oblivious about it's three main characters. And by the time the girl decides to come downstairs, she then hands him some money and says-she pities him. He walks away sulking going into cab. At this point viewers do not know what kind of relationship this is, but on the next scene the movie steps back six weeks earlier. And as it turns out, the guy that was banging on the door is really a wall street trader, Tommy (Scott Porter) and that the girl "was" his girlfriend Beth(Alexis Bledel) as we see how they first met which he saw her at a book club. And as the movie continues, we are then introduced to someone of an introvert named, Daniel (Bryan Greenberg) the third wheel who was at her apartment at the beginning. Apparently, Tommy was looking for another man since the previous insider wall street trader left for another firm who was offering more money, and Tommy was given the task of finding another replacement to fill in the gap so to speak. So when Tommy and his friends are hanging out at a pub, it is when he meets Daniel as a server and offers him a better job as an insider trader.

What ends up happening she bumps into one of Tommy's current ex's at a bar and learns he is still sleeping with her. Forcing her to dump Tommy to be with Daniel. Self-explanatory set up of a 'boy meets girl!"
