This film is based on
a play titled Finger Painting in a Murphy Bed. Myra Smuldanski lives in New York and she works as a
temporary employee at an office.
She works hard, gets a lot done and she doesn’t take any smart talk from
any of the men who work there.
Reginald Baron is an account executive at the office and he asks her out
on a date. There is one big
complication in Myra’s life. Her
brother lives with her and he is an adult but he is mentally challenged. She has been taking care of him and
working full time since their mother died. Myra doesn’t date anyone and no one has been to her
home. Ludlow tries to break up any
relationship she might have because he can’t share her with anyone. Myra is torn between looking after her
brother and wanting someone else in her life.
Reggie likes Myra and her caustic attitude, he’s
shy and not used to asking women for dates. He goes back and forth between being upset with Ludlow, upset
at Myra and OK about everything.
The characters draw you into the story and you really want good things
to happen to all of them except for office creep Storkelson!! 3* (This movie is OK)
