Lone Star International Film Festival 2009

Henry Spooner (Matthew Lillard) meets the girl of his dreams, Rose Conlin (Nora Zehetner), as he heads into the worst day of his life. A used car salesman, his sales numbers, like his life, are just coasting along but not really cutting it. Teetering on the edge of 30, with a mandate to move out of his parent’s house when he reaches that ominous age, and a mandate from his boss to bring up his numbers, Spooner’s heart overrules his practicality diverting his energy from securing his job and a place to live to securing the heart of his new-found love who reveals she is leaving for the Philippines. This quirky romantic comedy has won multiple film festival awards this year. Janis Jolcuvar
