Star and producer Tom Bastounes reportedly sold his family produce store in Chicago to finance this semi-autobiographical romantic comedy about lost love and lost opportunities. As he works at his family's produce store, George (Bastounes) is haunted by his choices of 20 years ago. The two things he most regrets are not pursuing a career in opera singing and not pursuing Gina (Monica Zaffarano), his old classmate who has gone on to fame and fortune as a diva. The film opens with George's wife asking for a divorce after George tries to sneak into the house after returning from an adulterous tryst. George's fortunes change when Gina visits Chicago for a five-day gig. It becomes immediately clear that love between the two still smolders, though Gina is involved with a straight-arrow senator. When Gina can't sing at a charity function, George steps in and wows everyone -- including himself -- with his sonorous voice, and he is given a glowing review in the paper. Suddenly, George's life is on track again, until some unforeseen complications hamper his forward movement. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

In this teen sex comedy, a group of four male friends are determined to do something about their moribund sex life, and so they portray themselves as up-and-coming porn filmmakers out looking for good female stars. This introduces them to the women they want to meet, but one of these women has a father with some dubious connections to organized crime -- and he is more than a little peeved when he finds out what these young teens have been doing to his daughter's honor. The ensuing confrontation involves a fleet of luxury cars descending on the hapless, would-be filmmakers -- soon to be grateful that their cameras were never loaded since the guns of their aggressors clearly are. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
