Alex Andero (Michael Parducci), a testosterone-driven dreamer who fantasizes about making it big as a Hollywood screenwriter. Alex finally gets his "big break" when his uncle sets him up with a shot at writing for a major action star. The only problem is he needs writing samples, and if there is one thing that he has learned from his screenwriting class, it's that he can't write.

At the end of his rope, Alex finds his solution in Elliot Springer (Peter Jacobson) a brilliant but uptight gay Jewish playwright who is as chronically honest as he is socially inept.

Although completely opposed to the idea or collaborating on a script he considers to be nothing more than fluff, Elliot succumbs when he realizes that Alex can help him get the one thing he wants most, a date with Joey ("Dawson's Creek"'s Kerr Smith), the cute struggling actor who works for Alex at the cafe.

While their two universes collide in a cramped New York City apartment as they battle it out over plot lines, sexuality, artistic integrity and a looming deadline, Alex and Elliot learn more about themselves than either had bargained for.

A straight Italian restauranteur and a gay Jewish man team up to write a screenplay. The gay man only co-operates because of a possible date with an actor who works for the straight guy.

I haven't seen this movie yet. My personal opinion will be online as soon as I have seen it personally. 

So check this page for it later.

Elliot Springer: It's Hopeless.
Alex Andero: Hopeless is not a word in my vocabulary.
Elliot Springer: I suspect that there are a lot of words that aren't in your vocabulary.

Elliot Springer: I'm not the type of man who inspires lust. I bought a dildo once and it lost it's erection.

Elliot Springer: I'm not doing this for Ray Tilman. I've had too many friends trying to please idiots like Ray Tilman. Even the one's who buy big houses. They still end up living in little tiny closets.

wearing nothing but powder blue lame shorts Alex: I'd like you to put some clothes on.

Elliott: You don't understand. Joey is gorgeous. I am... funny-looking. In the gay world, there's a caste system no less rigid than the Hindus'. It would be like a Brahmin dating an untouchable.

Bob: Alex, your hero? Does he have a name?
Alex: He's... you know... an undercover cop... typical...
Bob: No, no. There is no such thing as a typical cop. In the original "Diehard," the cop is defined by an urgent need to reconcile with his wife. In, in "Dirty Harry," you have a bitter vigilante who has to find redemption in an Orwellian nightmare of thwarted individualism.
Alex (puzzled): Tony. His name is Tony.
