Funny look at the dating world, 30 July 2003
Author: Amy Adler from Toledo, Ohio

Myles (Myles Berkowitz) is newly divorced and embarking on a quest to find true love again. He is also trying to make it in the movie business so he comes up with a good idea. Why not create a documentary by filming his next 20 dates, hopefully showing the dating game in modern Los Angeles? Myles receives the financial backing and away he goes. He meets women by arrangement, in grocery stores, at weddings and more. But will he have to go on 20 actual dates to find the woman of his dreams?

This is a humorous, pseudo-documentary that enlightens and entertains. Myles narrates the film with a sly, amusing touch and even when he seems somewhat full of himself, he elicits guffaws. The women he chooses are all attractive and, for the most part, willing to participate in the film-making process. The financial backer, unfortunately, is included in the film and uses a never-ending stream of bad language that is offensive. However, his role is small. Recommended for anyone searching for "yet another" romantic comedy, especially one that does not abide by the rules of the typical love story.
