Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Gray and Sam are brother and sister, best friends, and flatmates in New York City, where she creates ad campaigns and he's a surgery intern. Their social life is too insular, so they head to a dog park so Sam can, maybe, meet a woman. He does: Charlie, a zoologist new in the city; he likes her immediately, and the feeling seems mutual. As the three of them spend time together, what if Gray's feelings for Charlie aren't just sisterly? Not only might this explain her solitary life, but it could lead to real dilemmas--with Charlie (who's sweet, but a bit opaque) and with Sam. No advice comes from Gray's therapist, but a co-worker and a cab driver give theirs. Can Gray sort things out?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the film's opening sequence, Cavanaugh and Graham are seen dancing alone together in the middle of a studio. Graham is wearing a dress and red high-heeled shoes. Originally,Graham went barefoot so it would be easier for her to dance, but Cavanaugh was an awkward dancer and kept accidentally stepping on her toes, so she needed to put shoes on to shoot the dance number.

| Goofs | Heading for dinner at Raoul's, Gray gets out of Gordy's cab at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and something; regardless of where that something is, it's not the SoHo intersection of Prince and Sullivan Streets. In fact, that far south, Seventh Avenue is actually Varick Street. See more » |

| Quotes |
Sam:
What are you doing? Gray: I want to die right now. I never want to see another human being as long as I live. Sam: You're just coming out. Gray: I am never coming out of this elevator. Sam: This is probably the biggest revelation of your entire life. It's normal to be going nuts. It's normal. Gray: I don't feel normal. I'm sick and tired of everyone saying it's normal, it's typical, it's ordinary. I don't feel any of those things. Sam: Well how do you feel? Gray: Lonely. Sam: Why? Gray: Because I'm never going to be able to walk down the street, holding hands with my partner without the rest of the world giving us a look. And me never have the wedding that I once dreamed of and I may never have children. And one day when I die people will never give as much respect to my grieving lover as if she were my husband. Sam: Gray, it's not as if you made a choice. Gray: That's what terrifies me. It's so much easier to be someone else. See more » |
