The Trouble with Romance (2009)
Director: Gene Rhee
Movie review
From Time Out New York
If He’s Just Not That Into You is a film for women who want to be lied to, then The Trouble with Romance offers a conniving counterpoint for men. To wit: A hooker wants your dick, not your money, and your wife wants you to bang the cute office temp. You can even take a dump on your girlfriend’s photo; she’s still really into you. This quartet of stories revolves around one hotel, one night and four couplings, including a pair featuring David Eigenberg—better known as Steve from Sex and the City. At least in the real world, his female counterparts are having the last laugh.Author: Anna King
