A funny debut about a female writer who trades a New York lifestyle for cruise control., 10 December 2001
Author: jillybean26 from Brooklyn, New York

After seeing '101 Ways' at a screening in New Haven earlier this year, I'm glad to hear that it will be available to a cable audience. This film deserves attention. The lead character Watson is a smart, funny writer who escapes New York for a change of pace in the suburbs of Connecticut. She finds it difficult to find a job that will support not only her writing, but her new love, a brand new Volvo that her mother insists she buy. I loved the sequence that features Watson waiting on corporate spies at the 'Tarnished Barge' restaurant, which I hear from New Haven insiders is actually a place near Long Wharf called 'The Rusty Scupper'. Nowhere has the inanity of restaurant work been so comically rendered. Watson's romantic escapades are endearing--this is a 'portrait of the artist' for the new millenium, complete with bogus phone sex jobs and a luxury Swedish vehicle. Kudos to first-time director Jennifer Katz and her demystification of the fantasy that all New York artists have that the living is easier
