Jack owns art exhibits and several corporations. One night while at an art exhibit, he meets Jessie Taylor and falls head over heals in love. After several unsuccessful attempts to hook up, Jack runs into Jessie in Paris at a fashion shoot and convinces her to date him. Upon his return to the United States, where they both reside, Jack’s business partner cautions him against settling down with a woman he hardly knows.

When Jack decides the gig is up, he is truly is a poor man.

The storyline for this film was okay but had little originality. Despite the unoriginal storyline, the cast delivered solid performances. The cast included Peter Weller (Robocop 1 & 2 & Leviathan), Carey Lowell (Law & Order), and Michael Duchaussoy.

Nevertheless, it was entertaining and worth our time. Michael Duchaussoy’s portrayal of Julian was hilarious and well depicted. I would not call this a romantic comedy because there are only a couple funny scenes. Overall, this was an entertaining film with little original content that was delivered at a nice pace with solid settings.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]“If you put your hands on me again, I’ll slap the taste out of your wedding.”[/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Grade: C [/color][/size][/font] Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
