Directed by Darin Ferriola

Plot: Lance Valenteen (David Boreanaz) is a lovelorn Casanova who tricks woman into returning to their ex-boyfriends. Men who have recently been dumped by their girlfriends hire Lance to prove to their ex-girlfriends that they really weren’t that bad after all by befriending the clients’ ex-girlfriend, dating her, and becoming the epitome of why the client was dumped…sending the woman straight back into her ex-boyfriend’s arms. Bob Smith (Pat Healy) hires Lance to mend his former relationship with Sophia Fiori (Alana De La Garza), and with the money he makes from that job Lance can finally afford to fix up his 1985 Camaro for a shot at winning a prestigious local race…a life-long dream. But Lance finds himself falling for Sophia, which puts his plan in jeopardy. Does he go through with his ruse in order to have the money to make his dream come true, or, now that love is within reach, does he choose Sophia? Race day is tomorrow, and Lance has no idea that the surprise of his life is less than twenty four hours away.

Review: I admit it, I was an Angel fan and watch Bones on a regular basis. I was not sold on David Boreanaz as a movie actor after flops like Valentine and Crow: Wicked Prayer. My wife on the other hand loves Buffy, Angel, Bones and anything related, so when we found this at Blockbuster I knew I was going to have to watch it.

To my surprise this movie is actually pretty funny. It’s not original, more like a straight to DVD version of Hitch. David Boreanaz is good in this and carries the movie well. The supporting cast, although not really as important in this film, all add to the story nicely. This movie isn’t great, but it is good and worth a watch. If you are a fan of any of the Wedonverse or romantic comedies check it out.
