Overview

How important is the truth when falling in love? Bella is a Manhattan café waitress, about to turn 35, stuck in a long-term affair going nowhere. Paul is a widower, facing old age alone. Bella's mother sets her up with Bruno, a novelist/cabbie who likes to bed-hop and whose ex-wife expects their two children to stay with him for awhile. While Bruno learns some maturity from his young daughter, Paul answers a personals ad placed by a "widow, 60." The two couples - along with one of Paul's older pals and a Jungian stripper - sort out how to initiate a relationship these days, what to do when someone you like disappoints you, and when to tell the truth.

Despite some lovely moments ... Fast Food Fast Women operates like a sitcom.

Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

Nothing runs very deep, or very diverting ... in this overplayed, underwritten slice of (love-)life.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

Tries hard to be charming, but succeeds only occasionally.

Curt Fields, Washington Post
Rotten

An incoherent jumble of characters and situations.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten

Has a vacant, inept, why-oh-why feeling from its opening minutes and only gets worse.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
