Murray
is the bankrupted owner of a rare book store in Brooklyn . He’s forced to close the family business and he needs to
come up with something else for income.
Fioravante works in a florist shop and he’s an attractive man. This fact gets Murrays mind working
when he thinks about his wealthy female dermatologist Dr. Parker. Murray proposes to become a “manager”
for Fioravante with Dr. Parker as their first client. Murray will take 40% and Fioravante will take 60% but they
will split tips 50-50. They are
doing well until Fioravante meets Avigal and they fall in love.
She is the widow of a rabbi and the Jewish community will make their relationship
difficult for them.
I
would not consider this to be a comedy and I didn’t see anything funny? I did not understand and it’s not
explained why Allen lives with Jill Scott and her four boys? Why is there a scene with boy’s hair being
combed for head lice? Head lice
are a parent’s nightmare? The
odd-ball mix-up of scenarios seems weird?
