Plot

Tim Wainwright is almost 30 years old. He wants to find a nice girl, so he puts an ad in the LA Reader. He is disappointed by the many unsatisfactory responses. He's just about ready to give up when he gets a reply from Nancy, who seems to be a nice girl. Tim is a man with little ambition. Nancy works a dead end job and takes college classes for fun without intent to graduate. Each exaggerates their job to impress the other: she claims to be a professor; he claims to be an entrepreneur. When the truth reveals itself, they scramble to preserve their relationship.

According to Jonathan Rosenbaum, the film is almost identical to Armyan Bernstein's 1987 film Cross My Heart.
