Storyline

Ambitious young Manhattanite and urban conservationist Beth wants it all: a good job, good friends, and a good guy to share the city with. Of course that last one is often the trickiest of all. Beth falls hard for Tommy, a sexy, young Wall Street hot-shot. But just as everything seems to be falling into place, complications arise in the form of Tommy's sensitive and handsome co-worker Daniel. Beth soon learns that the game of love in the big city is a lot like Wall Street -- high risk, high reward and everybody has an angle. Written by Roadside Attractions

Fairly Enjoyable movie.
15 June 2010 | by (Saudi Arabia) – See all my reviews

I've noticed here on IMDb when people review a movie they concentrate on the technicalities too much. which fine, but people like myself don't really care much for that.

Anyway, this movie is very enjoyable, especially if you relate to some of the situations mentioned in the movie. Like one of the comments said, don't even try to understand the wall street guys conversations lol.

Bryan Greenberg is awesome as he is in one tree hill, although here he plays a guy that doesn't even know how to say a single word to a girl (I think that's enjoyable in itself).

Long story short, I liked this movie. I give it 6/10.
