Small-town bartender Owen Peadman goes to Los Angeles to raise money to help save his father's Minnesota restaurant. He tries to find a way into Hollywood society, where he meets socialite Lisa and her uptight actor boyfriend. Can he balance his growing feelings for Lisa with surviving the sordid lifestyles of the Hollywood elite?
This 2006 comedy-romance from director Erik MacArthur follows a small-town bartender who travels to Los Angeles hoping to raise money to save his father's struggling Minnesota restaurant. Once there, he navigates the glossy, status-obsessed world of Hollywood society, drawn toward a socialite while clashing with the pretensions around her. The tone mixes fish-out-of-water humor with romantic complications, poking at celebrity culture and self-reinvention. Light and character-driven, it is geared toward viewers who enjoy easygoing romantic comedies about chasing opportunity and finding connection in unfamiliar surroundings. Its MagicMovieScore of 3.2 reflects a modest reception.
