| | Adorable film | azrael 03/11/2007 | I got this film for David McCallum who plays the Lover of the main character's uncle and has raised both girls after the death of their parents.
What a surprise it is delightful! Shalom Harlow really does well as the naive virgin in her quest to have a child. The rest of the cast are wonderful and fit well together.
It is films like this that make me love Indies. See it if you have a chance. This would have made a very enjoyable series. |

Genre: Comedy
Director: Kwyn Bader
Cast: Hill Harper, Laurel Holloman, Nicole Ari Parker, David Moscow, Phylicia Rashad, Sandrine Holt, Elisa Donovan, Lysa Aya Trenier, Andre B. Blake, John Doman
Cursed with falling for Jezebels (women who are romantically involved with more than one man), Theodurus Melville (Hill Harper) narrates this story of his failures in forming lasting relationships with the opposite sex. While the story is amusing, its parade of beautiful women does not allow time to develop depth in its characterizations, which results in the film's overall lack of substance.
