Screenplay: Steve Cohen (loosely inspired by the film Seven Chances, directed by Buster Keaton and written by Jean C. Havez, Clyde Bruckman, and Joseph A. Mitchell).

Twitter Capsule: Fundamentally sexless O'Donnell is hardly the man to sell an utter fuckwit as a passable catch. A sexist horror show.

VOR:   Amazing: a film about how zero women want anything more to do with the male protagonist becomes one about how no woman can beg hard enough for his hand.
