Amy Mandell (Julie Davis) is a 29-year-old self-help author who, having been burned by men over and over, has made it her mission to convince women that they don't need men to establish their self-worth. Despite the urgings of her happily married friends, Amy refuses to entertain the possibility of giving love a chance. But when Amy meets Matthew Starr (Nick Chinlund), a shock jock known for his sexist on-air antics, irresistible charm, and sexual prowess, she takes on the ultimate challenge.

Critics Consensus

The title character is too self-absorbed to be all that engaging, and the movie's depiction of gender issues seems retrograde.

Davis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort.

When compared to the usual, more somber festival entries, Davis' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart, smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic.

The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years.

Amy's biggest faults are that it's too wordy and that those words sound scripted.

2016-03-04 entertaining enough, she's a bit of a jerk though for a while and he turns out to be decent, bit of role reversal.

Though it got weak reviews and did poorly in whatever limited engagements it was shown in, I liked Amy's O and it held my attention better than most other RomComs. The chemistry between Davis and Chunlund was far better and more realistic than Bullock/Reynolds in THE PROPOSAL. Very witty dialogue.

This movie was hilarious in an inappropriate kind of way. It wasn't super raunchy, but it was definitely more graphic than your average romantic comedy.

I once remember a friend of a family friend was once criticized for talking only about things he himself knew, which somehow made this guy "self involved." But really, aren't the only things we talk about things that we know, think we know, or identify with? If you can accept this, it's very easy to get past the very narrow narrative spun by director Julie Davis, who paints an unflatteringly narcissistic neo-feminist (who she also plays in the film) as redeeming only in that she realizes that her philosophy about love is pure crap -- while other characters really eat it up. While, yes, the film can at times be predictable it earns extra points for showing the protagonist as a fatally flawed character (which no doubt involved a lot of self discipline on the part of director/writer/star Davis) as well as for its portrayal of the new feminism as sensationalist, media-powered drivel (Who would have ever guessed that Julie Davis had such [testicles]?).
