"I bet if you were to
offer the average woman a choice between a nice piece of chocolate cake or sex,
I guarantee you she'd go for the cake." So says Sydney (Tara Howley), food
critic and straight best friend of Kira (Kathleen Fontaine). Kira begs to differ
as a lesbian whose active sex life consists of one night stands with women she
picks up in San Francisco bars.
Katie (Machiko Saito), one of her conquests
dumped the next morning and repeatedly ignored, begins stalking Kira. And the
next woman she meets demands a relationship, rather than just a roll in the hay.
Kira doesn't do the long term thing very well, upsetting both Robin (Desi del
Valle, Desi's Looking for a New
Girl, Costa Brava,
Unhung Heroes, The Second Coming) and Sydney as she figures out
her life.
Unfortunately, even though Kira is a struggling stand up comic,
the whole film suffers from poor comedic timing. It's just not that funny, and
it's hard to care about Kira much at all, since she comes off as just obnoxious
much of the time. FYI - Sydney does choose sex over chocolate in the end :-)
