Fast Food Fast Women (2000)

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.
