“I bought the DVD at the local video store and nearly passed it up: after all, there are never any good movies in the sales section, are there? Well, this one definitely is good. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Story: Ryan is a Wall Street Broker and a real big asshole (as his friend states: u0026quot;huge would be an understatementu0026quot;). But after losing his job and his girlfriend leaving him for a richer guy, he has to pay the rent somehow. And the only job he can lay his hands on is writing his girlfriendu0026#39;s u0026quot;Ask Cindyu0026quot;-column. And after dropping all his machismo the column even turns out successful…. (But before the end of course he still has to get his revenge for losing his job and also to get a new girlfriend. Wouldnu0026#39;t be a comedy otherwise, would it?) u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile not the very best of movies, it is very and funny and also has a few memorable quotes.

And after the movie, my hands hurt!”
