How to Steal A Boy-Friend in Ninety Minutes
25 February 2004
In San Francisco, Frankie (Ione Skye) is a dreamer aspiring to be an actress. She has been insomniac for seventeen years, since she lost her parents in a car accident. She was raised by her uncle Leo (Seymor Cassel) and works in his bar, and both are great fans of Frank Sinatra. Her cousin Rob is gay, but afraid to assume his sexual option to his father Leo. Her best friend is Allison (Jennifer Aniston), who is also an aspirant of actress. Frankie and Allison will move in a couple of days to New York. The new-hire David Shrader (Mackenzie Astin) is a blocked writer who is not able to write anything new, and Frankie has a crush on him. However, David has a girl-friend (Molly) for three years, loves her and is faithful to her. Frankie tries to seduce her twin-soul David anyway. The name of this movie could be: `How to Steal Molly's Boy-Friend in Ninety Minutes'. The story is very talky and full of citations, but it has not convinced me. I found it very silly. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): `Alma de Poeta, Olhos de Sinatra' (`Soul of Poet, Eyes of Sinatra')
