This movie is based on a novel by Tim Sandlin and filmed in Canada. Leo Palamino is a dishwasher in a busy
restaurant who can also juggle dishes, knives and other kitchen equipment. He wrote a novel and accepted an
advance but refused to make recommended changes. He returned the advance and self published but his novel was
a failure. His wife Julie left him
after achieving success as a writer with her blog about Leo and his
failures plus turning the blog into a novel. Leo meets Colette at her wedding and he believes she’s
making a mistake. Even though her
new husband Danny seems perfect, Leo believes he’s the man for her.
This film is asking us to believe a lot that seems implausible? How can Leo be the right one for
Colette when he doesn’t have anything but ridicule going for him? I don’t see a lot mutual attraction or
a feeling that they must be right for each other and they don’t know
each other at all? What about breaking
up a new marriage just because you don’t have anyone else but your cat? 2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
