"I decided to make a movie that would combine my two biggest failures: my professional life and my personal life." So says genial Myles Berkowitz, a struggling filmmaker and hapless romantic who has come up with a sure-fire plan to solve his problems. He decides to make a movie consisting entirely of his dates, recorded Candid Camera - style in all their embarrassing glory. Myles literally throws himself into the project, bungee jumping on one date to prove his manhood. With supreme self-confidence, the inept Myles fends off his impatient producer while desperately trying to salvage his love life. The audience favorite at this year's Slamdance Film Festival, 20 Dates is an infectious cinematic experiment that playfully examines the wide gulf between romance as depicted in "the movies" and the messy realities of contemporary dating. - David Schwartz
