Are all relationships based on lies? Jake Bianski runs a fish market in north Boston, surrounded by Italians. For years, he's carried a torch for Isabella, an ex-girlfriend now married with three children and no interest in Jake. Yet, he tells everyone she's his girlfriend, including Marisa, a veterinarian his employees set him up with at the Italian singles club. She's interested in him until he tells her about his girlfriend, then he's persistent in asking her to be his friend. As the friendship bumps along, Jake realizes that reality may be better than fantasy, but what if Isabella changes her mind about Jake, and what if it comes out that Marisa, like Jake, isn't Italian?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic premise on a small lie that threatens to unravel the protagonist's entire social facade. Director Jason Todd Ipson works with the familiar beats of a romantic comedy but layers in ethnic charm and a theme of self-acceptance.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of warmth and the simple, satisfying resolution of a well-told farce. It's a gentle reminder that authenticity trumps pretense. — MovieFinder Editorial
