In a normal romantic comedy Theodore would be dashing and suave trying to win the love of his soulmate from her less deserving suitor.
Unfortunately he seems to find a lot of ' soulmates' in his travels.
Recently there's Frances ( Parker) who has more issues then Time magazine. Not to mention the sophisticated Mona ( Holt ) who is world wise and is pretty sure that Theodore is the one for her. Pity her boyfriend and Theodores best friend doesn't agree.
Finally we come to Samantha ( Holloman) off centre but filled with hope that is the perfect match for him. Unfortunately for them both there's her self centered jerk of a husband Gabe ( played with smooth smugness by Moscow) that could end that match stone cold dead.
I like Theodore because he isn't going around causing havoc just to add names to a book, he isn't being the typical stud that finds love. There is something lovable about him that wins both these women and the audience over.
Its different, its not about being a player but being a man looking for true love.
How can you not like that.
