This romantic comedy is about Eli Wyckoff (Dan Bucatinsky) and Tom (Richard Ruccolo), who meet on a blind date set up by friends. Tom is the adult child of emotionally distant alcoholic parents. Eli's parents are both psychologists who raised him to be emotionally open but ended up making him neurotic. Tom is quite ordinary and can easily pass as straight, whereas Ely is not so masculine and seems to have no control over his amusing, sarcastic remarks. They do everything they can not to fall in love, but as the comedy of errors rolls along, everyone can clearly see that they are made for each other. The film is told mostly in flashback, with Eli recounting his story to Esther (Doris Roberts), a funny HIV clinic worker, as he waits for test results. Flashbacks end on the day of their best friends' Brett (Adam Goldberg) and Jackie's (Sasha Alexander) wedding. Esther tries to teach Eli to be more understanding of Tom's emotional needs. At an AA meeting, a member tries to sexually assault Tom, and when he tells Jackie she criticizes him for discarding Eli for daring to fall in love with him. At the reception, Eli and Tom realize they have to overcome their families' dysfunction and their own fears. Dan Bucatinsky wrote the script and Julie Davis directed.
