Dumped by her loser boyfriend (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Erin (Hope Davis) thinks that her love life has hit rock bottom. In reality, the all-time low comes when her overbearing mother (Holland Taylor) places an embarrassing ad for her in the "personals" section of a local newspaper! Erin's disgust turns to curiosity, however, when the calls start pouring in -- all 64 of them! As she searches for the right guy in a hilarious series of disastrous dates, a lonely ex-plumber named Alan (Alan Gelfant) clumsily searches for his dream job ... all the while narrowly missing one chance meeting with Erin after another!
