A romantic-comedy at its core, “How to Make Love to a Woman” is masked at the surface as a vulgar sex-comedy. With 1990s-style ongoing sex/relationship conversations mixed with well-known who’s-that-guy-he-was-in-that-one-thing cast members spattered throughout, the film is a semi-impressive debut for its director, Scott Culver (for his control as well as for taking the risk to debut with a comedy, a well-known no-no). However, the film has some irritating set-backs, notably a sharply darting script spiced with pay-attention-to-me overacting from a few of the cast and cameos.
The film opens with Andy (Josh Myers, brother of “Saturday Night Live” star Seth Myers), an up-and-coming record producer searching for the next great musical talent. His relationship is going strong with his girlfriend Lauren (Krysten Ritter) until the night their one-year anniversary hits. After a romantic embrace, Lauren tells Andy she loves him — and Andy says nothing, which sparks friction in their relationship.

Sometimes movies surprise you. A cliché, I know, but bear with me a moment. Take a look at the DVD cover of How To Make Love To A Woman. Would you pick this up from a shelf filled to the brim with hundreds of other, possibly better films? I mean, the cover has the American Pie lettering and the cast striking and fronting with cheesy expressions that scream “we’re an ensemble cast for a raunchy comedy.” Actor Eugene Byrd in particular gets the worst of it, not only the lone black man on the cover but also saddled with a self-satisfied, too-cool pose.
The secret is that the film inside, written by Dennis Kao and directed by Scott Culver, doesn’t portend to be more than yet another comedy released in the aftermath of the Apatow crew's assault on Hollywood; a comedy that’s equal parts raunchy and romantic.

Ian Somerhalder, in Part I of our Exclusive Interview, talked in some detail about The Vampire Diaries (TV). Now, in Part II of our conversation, he discusses his long-awaited return to Lost (TV). Will his character, Boone, appear in flashbacks? In an alternate timeline? As a ghost or a figment of someone's imagination? The truth is that Somerhalder wasn't able to say too much about reprising his role as Boone on ABC's top-secret sci-fi show that will kick off its sixth and final season on Feb. 2 with the episode "La X." Still, we gave it our best shot and then got Somerhalder chatting about some other topics, too. So please read on. Our understanding is that after you left Lost you stayed in touch with all your friends from the show, but didn't tune into the episodes on a regular basis. That sound about right? I never have time to watch it,...
