The beautiful Greek setting and some tongue-in-cheek casting choices almost totally redeem this otherwise vapid stab at aping Woody Allen.
Director/star Matthew D. Panepinto channels both Woody Allen and Jeff Goldblum as a vain, rapid-talking film director whose unfaithfulness prompts his wife to walk out and board a plane to picturesque Santorini, Greece.
As the wife, Deirdre Lorenz is charming and alluring in a role that begs credulity that she'd ever have looked twice at an obsequious cad like him in the first place.
She co-wrote the film with Panepinto, and unfortunately neither found it important to explore that Billy Joel/Christie Brinkley aspect to their relationship, nor to explain why the wife chooses to bolt to Greece, as opposed to anywhere else in the whole wide world.
But this is a positive review despite those shortcomings, and here's three reasons why:
1. Santorini, Greece is jaw-droppingly beautiful
2. Ice-T as a horny psychiatrist with a hot babe receptionist
3. Richard Belzer as a gay film producer with a little foo-foo dog. Richard Belzer totally kisses a guy full on the lips
All three have to be seen to be believed, and make this indie worth a watch, especially since it's free.

Terrible acting, weak plot, badly filmed, lit and edited. This movie makes home made movies look professional. Having said that, something in me wanted to watch it till the end. It never got better.

The scenario must have been written in the bathroom and the shootings done in a week. A junior school team would have done it in a more professional way.
Don't lose your time over this one.
