    not actually funny

    It's pre-2000 NYC. Mary McCrawley (Heather Graham) gets fired from her temp job. She comes home to find her loser temp boyfriend Primo Schultz (John Corbett) dead in front of the TV. She's left with his dog. It's a long line of loser temp boyfriends. Zoe (Katherine Moennig) is her best friend. She's mildly taken with Joey Lucas (Griffin Dunne)'s credit card. Helene (Gina Gershon) tells her about Primo who seems to be completely different than the loser that she knew. Howard (Scott Michael Foster) inspires her to write about him and enter into a contest. She finds his baby mamma Sue Watt and joins her band.

    I love Graham but she's not a lead comedian type. She's more of a straight man who can do odd deadpan. I can't tell if the material is actually funny but the movie isn't. It's mildly quirky at best. This character would be cute as a twenty something slacker. As a thirty something, it's no longer cute. I don't hate this except for its weak attempts at being funny.

    Fun movie

    I don't think the producers of this movie thought this was a great movie themselves but the effort they put into it was just fine. Everybody who was giving this a bad reviews just being too hyper critical . The writing is excellent

    On the flippant side

    Mary, who is living with Primo, whom she considers a rather loser, gets fired from her temp job and comes home to find him dead. The humor is on the flippant side, and not for all tastes. But Mary finds out that not only do most people know who Primo is, many have slept with him, and some consider him quite an accomplished artist. She finds out he had an entire life she knew nothing about. But then she hadn't been with him that long. And her circle of friends are some interesting characters. It is a breezy and fun movie but not something of a great cinematic feature.

    Great movie! A very light-heart dark comedy!

    Great movie! A very light-heart dark comedy! I saw with my family and we all laughed a lot. I would never read again a critic who has give a bad note to a movie like this! Though, the first forty five minutes are clearly funnier than the last forty five minutes. The actors are good. Very few scenes are easily to predict an this help to spark the fun in this hilarious film.

    Unique but Uneven Story, Some Poor Acting

    As others have outlined, this is a story about an underachiever who gets fired from her temp job and comes home to find her boyfriend, Primo, sitting dead in front of the TV. She starts to learn about a colorful secret life that he had while with her and before meeting her.

    The premise is interesting, but there is some unevenness to the delivery and unfortunately Heather Graham's delivery of lines is even worse. There is an attempt at dark comedy, but it is not subtle. That said, her adventure in discovering Primo's past via a diverse selection of his friends and family is watchable, especially since it is set in New York.
