Only 11 reviews, mine included, which means this is truly one of the forgotten romantic comedy gems on Imdb. Such a shame, because it has got sharp humor, a frivolous story, a lovely feel good spirit and such great subtle sarcastic dialogues. All one could wish for in an edgy romantic comedy, which is quite a bit different from the average romcom stuff. That is the reason why guys could love this comedy as well, because there is very little sentimental romantic stuff going on. The romance part is more of a side note, because the main "theme" is about young people messing up their lives and trying to find a new place where they feel at home.
The story: Matthew Broderick is poor and finally finds an apartment in New York City. There's a catch, there is always a catch: he has to share his appartment with 2 other persons, meaning he has got only 2 days per week that he can call his apartment his own. This sharing creates a lot of confusion, resulting in several frivolous (romantic) encounters, for the better and for the worse...
Especially recommended for Matthew Broderick fans, because I think this is one of his better performances of his carreer. And I have seen ALL his movies. What I especially like is the understated, casual and sarcastic tone of this comedy, which is so typical of many Matthew Broderick movies. In this one this typical sarcastic comedy style is tweaked into perfection. Lovely and funny and with a great sarcastic bite to it!
