Video Description
A story about chance encounters, psychoanalytic excuses and one woman's struggle to make a commitment, Puccini for Beginners is a sophisticated screwball sex comedy.
Allegra loves Samantha. But she won't say so. Grace loves Philip but he won't marry her. Samantha leaves Allegra. Allegra meets Philip. Philip leaves Grace. Allegra falls for Philip. Allegra meets Grace. Grace falls for Allegra. Allegra falls for Grace. Allegra sees Philip and Grace simultaneously and has no idea they're exes. Confused yet?
That's part of the effervescent and romantic charm of the second film from director Maria Maggenti (The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love), which defies being catogorized by its fluid sexualities and focuses its lens on the delicious confusion of love.

Synopsis
Elizabeth Reaser (STAY) and Gretchen Mol (THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE) star in this lesbian-themed comedy about a New York writer whose love life slowly spirals out of her control when she unwittingly starts dating a man (Justin Kirk) and a woman (Mol) who are actually more connected than anyone would guess.

Customer Reviews

Everything that is bad about films
This is what happens when you get a middle aged studio exec who says, "Hey, that L Word gets loads of audience numbers. Let's make a film with those lesbians in!"

Pointless film that fills neither the need to be entertaining nor the need to tell a story nor the need to even have interesting visuals.

Just pointless.

Funny movie

This movie is super funny and the chemistry between the characters is excellent.
