Romantic/Fanatic

romantic coupling

This cutesy dating piece from Fool Productions offers the lamentations and joys of the male/female relationship in the context of 20 something dating.

Although writer/star Sarah Swift offers up a charming performance as the bubbly cynic, Jane, and some very endearing moments script-wise, the piece is marred by a sense of “been there seen that already” - not at all helped by co-star Martin Chodorek who starts strong in two brief roles as barfly douchebags, but whose principle performance is as exciting as cream of wheat. It’s a sweet and slightly schmaltzy piece, but offers the same guilty pleasure as a good summer romantic comedy.
