MONICA POTTER
You may recognise her from the film "head over heels" which also starred Freddie Prince Jr. In this film she plays the role of a woman who has just been "very publicly dumped" by her boyfriend, who she was convinced was perfect for her.She only see's "the good" in the men that she date's, even if they are not so good. She is hard on herself and always picking out her own faults yet when it comes to the men in her life. She would have a huge list full of reason's why she thinks they are so perfect. After a while of feeling depressed and refusing to date, she ends up going on "various different dates" with five different men. She acts very differently "with each one of them" she seems to take on different personality's depending on "which one" she is with. She is quite a sensitive person yet she still manages to be slightly crazy and to have a more serious side as well.
THE DATES
* Gabriel "the playwright." played by Gael Garcia Berna.
* Doug "the entomologist" played by John Hannah.
* Bobby Staley "the basketball star" played by Anthony LaPaglia.
* Luke "the doctor" played by David Boreanaz.
* Barry "the pc store owner" played by Henry Thomas.
LUKE
Luke is a doctor he's seems perfect to Lucy even though "those watching" this will probably "instantaneously" pick up bad vibes from him. His bad attitude and insensitivity, show's pretty much from the beginning. You may remember the guy "who plays Luke" as angel from "buffy the vampire slayer." I did not like the character that he played in this because he is too "arrogant" and not fun to watch at all because of this.
GABRIEL
Gabriel is a playwright "there is definitely" an intense attraction between both Lucy and him but is physical attraction all that all he has to offer her? He is a very chilled out guy he even has "a garden" inside his house and he is also very good looking too.
BOBBY
Bobby Staley is a ex baseball star, i found that he added a lot of laughs to this film. He is cocky and has a view of women and there purpose which most women wouldnt be "too impressed" about. He is very touchy, feely and even when his advances are rejected, he still doesn't seem to be able to except it. He even at one point used the phrase "do you know who i am?" this was on his first date with Lucy.
DOUG
I really like his character in this film, he plays a shy, very decent, kind hearted man, who is divorced and the persona Lucy take's up when she is in his company "is that off" someone who is always drunk when he comes to see her. He is a entomologist
BARRY
Barry is a pc store owner and he is a rather quiet, good hearted, charming man. Lucy and him get close after a "less than friendly first meeting." but "she still wants to play the field" and continue dating the others. He is "a good looking man" and is very caring, but he is the serious type maybe he wants more than one nights stands can Lucy offer him that?
MY OPINION
I think that its great that "you see" how it goes with each and every one of her dates. Some parts are very funny, but i thought it was more of a moving film than a funny one, "although" it really was funny at particular times. It is in my opinion "right up" there in the list of "girly films,"so i think any guy's "who do not" like them will probably want to avoid this. It is a shame though as it is a brilliant film.This keeps you guessing from "start to finish" as to "what will happen" and makes you wonder, if she will end up with "one of her dates" or maybe even "none of them" at all.
I have seen this quite a few time's now. I think the fact that you are kept guessing makes the film "a lot more entertaining. I was so sure that "i knew" what was going to happen and was left shocked myself by how it end's, although not in a bad way either because it was a good ending. I also like the element of fate in it which you will understand if you watch it. Overall its become one of my favourite film's since i seen it. This got a PG rating and the film lasts 67 minutes.
PRICE
I have seen this on Amazon for less than four pounds, "not bad" for such a good film.
Advantages: funny, light Disadvantages: girly, clever but not THAT clever
...out. This time, the movie, I'm With Lucy, a romantic comedy (OK, chick flick) with Monica Potter.

DVD Description
After being dumped by a guy she thought was perfect, Lucy (Monica Potter) jumps headlong back into the New York City dating pool. After being set up on a series of blind dates, she meets five eligible bachelors, each with his own strong and weak points. There's the jock (Anthony LaPaglia), the lover man (Gael Garcia Bernal), the surgeon (David Boreanaz), the divorced writer (John Hannah), and the rule-abiding office worker (Henry Thomas). Is one of these five very different men the right one for her, or will she have to start all over again
