Sunnyvale
"Sunnyvale" is a hard movie to pin down with a simple review. It's ostensibly a romantic comedy, though both the romance and the comedy are a bit skewed. It follows Ricardo (James Ricardo), an unemployed slacker, through his relationships with a collection of women. There's Thai (April Wade), a pot dealer and her girlfriend Dakota (Ute Werner) at first, then he gets entangled with a gal he meets through a personal ad. It's hard to see what the three of them see in this emotionless loser, but whatever it is, it's enough to keep them coming back for more. This is an offbeat comedy with a number of flaws, but it's an interesting take on the masochism and desperation of single women in the modern day.
