Hav Plenty

DIRECTED BY: Christopher Scott Cherot

REVIEWED: 07-06-98

Christopher Scott Cherot wrote, directed, and stars in this exceedingly inconsequential romantic comedy. Based on a "true story," the film follows Lee Plenty (Cherot) during a New Year's Eve weekend he spent in Washington, D.C., with a high-society female friend named Havilland (Hav Plenty--get it?). We watch as Plenty, a struggling book writer, resists the advances of Hav's friend and sister, all the while holding out for Hav, who's too self-absorbed to realize she loves him back. The picture has the dry staginess and spotty performances of a low-budget first feature, with absolutely nothing resembling good comic rhythm; but the characters slowly grow on you, and their specific situation becomes amusing--if not actually romantic--for its smartly detailed observation. Great movie-within-a-movie ending.
