Action Comedy Crime Drama Romance

5.2 / 10

In New York City, Jack Jericho, an elementary school teacher who lives with and takes care of his ailing grandmother Nellie, is a bit of a scammer, most notably demonstrated by he continually rehearsing his corny pick-up line in front of the mirror. Along with his good looking but slightly broken down vintage red Camaro convertible and his surface charm, Jack scours the streets for women he is attracted to to use his well-rehearsed pick-up line, he asking the important questions, such as marital status of his potential conquests, after the fact if he asks at all, the answers to which he doesn't really care. These pick-ups work a small percentage of the time, which is good enough for him as he collects his conquests' telephone numbers written down on a well-worn piece of paper he carries around with him at all times. Jack eventually uses his pick-up routine on two women he spies at a nightclub associated with who he will learn is mobster Alonzo Scolara. The first is Lulu, Alonzo's dumb...

I recently watched this movie and thought it was a good film. If only Oil and Vinegar (1987) had gone ahead with Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick then we may have had another classic like The Breakfast Club. Watching this movie made me pine for this 'What Could Have Been' scenario so much. - @Wednesday, September 19, 2018 9:56 PM

I gotta say that this is a great trailer!! The film, however, doesn't live up to the commercial. It's sad, too, because the actors are all good. It's just the script doesn't live up to it's potential. James Toback wrote and directed the film...and he does a piss poor job at both. And this is the guy who wrote THE GAMBLER! (the original, not the shitty remake) He also wrote Bugsy. Too bad. - @Monday, June 18, 2018 2:33 AM

I Love Marisa Tomei, but it would've been cooler if Marvel have cast Molly Ringwald to play Aunt May instead. would've loved to have seen a Pick-up Artist reunion in Civil War and Homecoming lol. - @Saturday, May 5, 2018 11:38 PM

Let's get it out there. I'm considerably jealous of my nephew presently. He has been alone constantly. By a cheat, he's got a model to deeply love him in no time. Just how can that be thinkable? He mentioned he obtained the Cupid Love System (Google it!) I wish someone beautiful told me that... I do not remember ever seeing him so cheerful. Sort of makes me frustrated. - @Tuesday, September 17, 2013 2:02 PM

These video clips are fantastic. I'm here since my mate without warning started to be incredible with girls. He went from zero to hero. He acted as if it was natural for a while. Then he smiled and told me while he was wasted. Turns out he uses the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it and you'll find it... He is on a date right now with a beautiful girl... Lucky guy! Where are the best of these movies on Youtube? - @Thursday, July 4, 2013 4:10 AM

Thank you very much. - @Monday, May 20, 2013 9:12 PM

OP: the reason is because it's a socially acceptable more, that a man eventually becomes monogamous. If in the movie the man goes from being an unhappy lonely guy to being happy but with many women instead of just one and "falling in love", that is not a mainstream socially acceptable message. Society likes to see happy successful people get more happiness, in an acceptable normative way while unhappy people suffer even more and never find happiness or success. Mainstream thinking sucks. - @Tuesday, May 7, 2013 7:57 AM
