Movie Haiku:Kate (Wilde) is in love with Chris (RL) but spends most of her time with Best Buddy Luke (JJ). Meanwhile Luke is in a longtime relationship with Jill (AK). Jan saw an acute, well-crafted dramedy of modern mating rituals. Rich liked the fact that nothing turned out to be quite as simple as the set-up implied, but individual characters made less sense to him.
