Luke is a struggling rock musician who has decided to leave New York City for the seemingly greener pastures of Los Angeles. A few days before he leaves, he spots a beautiful girl on the subway who gives him a big smile, giving him brief second thoughts. However, Luke heads out to L.A. anyway, and after months of scuffling lands a gig - and sees the beautiful girl, Brier, in the audience. Brier is an aspiring actress who, like Luke, came to L.A. to boost her career; she's taking acting classes and has landed a less-than-glamorous but lucrative deodorant commercial. Luke and Brier strike up a friendship, though it's obvious he's interested in something deeper; as Luke tries to score a record deal, Brier and her best friend Clea try to spruce up his image and create some buzz about his music. But as Luke falls hard for Brier, she develops greater qualms about getting involved with a musician who will spend half his life on the road, and their shared desire for that big break may be the thing that keeps them apart.
This is your typical romantic comedy: boy meets girl, boy likes girl, girl plays hard to get, boy ends up with girl. I'm not giving anything away, because it's obvious what's going to happen right from the beginning. I would have given it a worse rating, but I felt the main characters had very good chemistry and were believable in their roles. I also really enjoyed the music which was performed by a musician who was the actor playing a musician in the film (get it? The actor sang his own songs). Anyway, it's worth a look if you're into music and want to see a skateboarding dog - yeah, he's pretty good.
