Jessica Stein (the deliciously cute Jennifer Westfeldt) has it all or almost. She is a successful, straight, attractive single woman living in New York City. Frustrated of not finding a decent guy (she’s picky), she tries to find a friendship with another woman and answers an intriguing ad in the newspaper written by bisexual free-spirit Helen Cooper (Heather Juergensen) looking for her first lesbian relationship.

Movie Review: Married Life (2007)
Married Life directed by Ira Sachs, is a dark and witty comedy of manners with a big dash of psychological thriller. Set in 1949, the plot is about Harry Allen (the formidable Chris Cooper), an apparently successful businessman. See, Harry seems to have it all, successful career, nice house, sex-driven wife (sublime Patricia Clarkson), he is living THE life! Except poor Harry longs for true love and that is missing. In comes Kay Nesbitt (lovely Rachel McAdams), a young war widow with whom Harry has an affair.
Movie Review: The Lucky Ones (2008)
The Lucky Ones, directed by Neil Burger (The Illusionist), is the latest from a long line of movie “about” the Iraq war.
