"According To Spencer"
This is a romantic comedy, yes, but not your
typical one.
It is the story of a young guy, Spencer Gold. He has been living at his
parent's house at the age of 25 and decides to move out to Los Angeles
to work in the mailroom at a mid-size ad agency. There he runs into the
girl, who he's been in love with since they were in elementary school
together,
Melora. The two of them start to rehash their friendship from back in
the
eighties. Melora is dating Craig, who is an incredible guy, he "just
can
give you 70%, I don't give anyone 70%." All Spencer gives her as they
form
their friendship is room to be the incredible person and writer that
she
wants to be. Spencer moves into a run-down mansion, soon after he gets
this job to live with two guys, Feldy and Ezra. They are in the process
of making an "art film", but really a porno. They bring Spencer into
this
crazy world of change and new ideas that end up giving him inspiration
to get out of the mailroom and shoot his own spec commercial. This
doesn't
land him a grand promotion but only a dinky little assistant job.
Melora
takes a journey all her own, going back and forth between her
friendship
with Spencer and her relationship with Craig, in the end leaving Craig
and finishing the play that she's always wanted to write. She ends up
coming
back to Spencer, "the nice guy" and start the beginnings of a wonderful
relationship. This isn't your typical love story,
where the guy isn't the one who wants to commit
but rather
one where the guy
wants to commit and find his passion.
