Plot 411: A news reporter lets slip a very personal detail about his girlfriend that wreaks havoc on her life.
Review: Jeana (Estella Warren) is dating her dream man, a news reporter named Tom (Michael Weatherly), and has just received the key to his newly purchased home. She believes their relationship is getting serious and has decided that Tom will be her first lover. However, as she anticipates their overseas holiday, Tom lets it slip on air that he's dating a virgin. All of Sacramento is clued in to Jeana's secret and her life turns into one chaotic nightmare. Encouraged by her roommate Caroline, played by Rachel Dratch, Jeana decides to get those cruise tickets back from Tom so she can go on her dream vacation. She swears off men, even when she meets and befriends Paul (Christian Kane). The completely predictable twist is that Paul is also Tom's new cameraman, the person Tom was speaking to when he let the secret slip. This was an average rom com if I ever did see one. The acting wasn't hugely impressive, although Weatherly's performance is pretty darn close to his role on NCIS. Perhaps there's more to that cocky, jokester than just a character? Kane seems to hold his own but doesn't seem to command the screen like a leading man should. He is better on the tv show Leverage though, and I think I prefer him in that role. Warren's performance isn't really believable. The entire time all I could do was stare at her unbelievable bee-stung lips. I bet there's an actress or two who would kill for them.
Watch It: If you're a Weatherly fan as he continues to be entertaining and a jerk at the same time.
Skip It: For a film that'll pick as side: romance or comedy. This one toed the line but never really committed to either and probably failed because of it.
