Cute romantic comedy with a non-Hollywood vibe
Review date: 2008-01-18 Rating: 8 out of 10
Jeana (Estella Warren) has never quite made it over the threshold and had sex. When things get a little heated with new boyfriend Tom (Michael Weatherly of "NCIS"), Sacramento's hot newscaster, she admits her virginity. Stunned, he blurts it out over the air while prepping for a story, and to Jeana's horror, she is a laughingstock at work, the pro-virginity gurus want her as a poster girl, the media won't leave her alone, and men keep coming up to offer to make a woman out of her. Then she meets quiet photographer Paul (Christian Kane), who works with Tom but has no idea that the sexy new gal he is friends with was in a relationship with a blowhard like Tom.
Meanwhile, Jeana wants to get her hands on the cruise tickets to Brazil to keep Tom from going on her dream vacation with someone else. Ever the arrogant jerk, Tom figures she wants to go with him. Will Jeana find out that Paul is aware of her secret? Will Tom's vacuous Russian ex Zsa Zsa accompany him on the cruise? The supporting cast includes former SNL player Victoria Jackson as a travel agent and the ever annoying Kathy Griffin as a lawyer in need of a muzzle.
Filmed entirely on location in California's capital city, the setting gives it a more realistic, non-Hollywood vibe. Overall, it is a cute and breezy romantic comedy, directed by Charles Matthau, son of the late Walter. The younger Matthau has a small role as one of Jeana's potential lovers.
