Plot 411: A romantic fishmonger who was dumped by his girlfriend eight years ago still believes she is his soulmate until he becomes friends with a veterinarian and the definition of fate becomes hazy.
Review: Jake (Jay Jablonski), the owner of a fish market, has been chasing his married ex-girlfriend for eight years trying to convince her to get back with him. His friends think he's crazy and introduce him to a nice girl named Marisa (Cerina Vincent) at an Italian singles event. The unique thing is that neither Jake or Marissa are Italian, but they are surrounded by well-meaing Italian friends and neighbors that add a ton of humor to this film. After an awkward first date where Jake tells Marisa about his "girlfriend," things become rocky. However, Jake challenges her to be friends and she accepts. As they get to know each other, misunderstandings between them occur, but in a cheeky rom com way, everything wraps up in the end. The best part of this film is the banter between Jake and his two friends at the market Steve (John Capelos) and Gianluca (John Enos III). These two guys are totally unabashed by what they say or how they act. They're two of the most real characters in the film - just guys being guys. While definitely not the worst rom com I've seen, it's nothing to write home about. There really isn't any chemistry between Jablonski and Vincent despite all of their physical beauty. In reality, the Jake character is quite obnoxious and annoying. Penny Marshall and Dan Cortese have small cameos in this film.
Watch It: If you're a fan of Boston because the film seems to take the audience to many different neighborhoods.
Skip It: If you're looking for an emotional rom com with some feeling behind it.
