Synopsis

It is the coldest night in November.

Owen has shelved his college books and thesis papers to prepare for the date of his life.

With candlelight, soft music and enough Italian chicken to feed the Northeast coast, he is ready but not for Aurora, the drugstore cosmetics cashier he has finally had the courage to ask for a date.

All lipstick and hair spray and spike heels, Aurora is a combination of every cover girl in the history of Cosmopolitan, but her brain is made of paper too.

Nothing goes as planned.

When Aurora falls for Owen's roommate, things really get out of hand.

Throw in Frieda, a psycho obsessive neighbor who has weddings with Barbie dolls and wields a mean butcher knife, and you have a physical comedy of lunatic proportions.
