Plot Summary
This offbeat comedy about love and romance won writer, director and actress Heidi Van Lier top honors a Grand Jury Prize at the 1999 Slamdance Film Festival. Heather Green (Van Lier) is a journalist with an alternative newspaper in Chicago who is obsessed with her ex-boyfriend. Randy (Joe Kraemer) is in turn obsessed with Heather. A would-be documentary filmmaker, Randy constantly films her, sometimes without her knowledge. When Heather takes up a challenge from Randy and announces she can seduce the next man she meets, her desperation makes it clear she's had bad luck with men for a very good reason. When Heather finally does meet the man of her dreams, a good-looking attorney named Cliff (Scott Benjaminson), Heather also has an angry and jealous Randy to deal with. Shot mostly in single takes with semi-improvised dialogue, this indie from IFC Films proves to be a winning combination of both stylistic inventiveness and narrative wit.

i love this movie
i wish the director would make another movie. she is so talented and the movie is so funny!
really funny
I didn't know what to expect from this movie, but it was great. Van Lier plays a female version of Woody Allen, trying to navigate the social scene in Chicago. Check it out. It has more laughs than most big budget comedies, for sure.
Chi Girl
This movie is terrible. To be fair I only watched about 8 minutes of it. It was too painful to continue.I can't even get into specifics. Just be warned. A very weird, pathetic girl . It is not funny.
