Dorfman (15) UK Premiere
1hr 30. Dir. Brad Leong. USA 2011.
With Scott Wilson, Sara Rue, Elliot Gould and Catherine Hicks.
Contains scenes of a sexual nature.
Deb Dorfman is a mousy accountant who lives with her widowed father (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye, MASH) in the San Fernando Valley. A hopeless romantic, Deb is besotted with her brother’s friend, Jay, a war-zone reporter. When he asks her to cat-sit while he is in Afghanistan, Deb jumps at the chance. Befriended by two models and a handsome artist who live in the building, Deb undergoes a physical and personal metamorphosis. Clever writing and an enchanting performance by Sara Rue (The Big Bang Theory, Popular, Less Than Perfect) as Deb, make this a treat for romantic comedy addicts.
