Reminiscent of two favorite romantic comedies, it’s part “Only You” (Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr.) and a lot of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Similar to the latter, there’s alot of unknown actors that are just wonderful. In this, Jake (Jay Jabolnski) has been in love with Isabella (Marisa Petroro) for 14 years. The problem is, she’s not only married, but she dated Jake long before she got married. He just never got over it. Determined to end this crazy infatuation, two guys from the fish market in Boston’s North End, embark on finding Jake a girl. Enter Marisa (Cerina Vincent) in a case of mistaken ethnicity because both of them pretend to be something their not. Italian. The movie touches on everything from soulmates to stereotypes but what’s most interesting is how lame-bachelor-man-child Jake’s dialog is, but in a crafty way. I got to wondering just who’s the guy who wrote the lines when Jake is hitting on the girls, messing up badly and/or professing his love? His botch- ups are so genuine, only a real-life dork could pull it off. His name is Jason Todd Ipson and apparently he knows how to direct a darn good movie, too. 3 tiaras
