Plot: A young Ohio man moves to Los Angeles in search of a career and a girlfriend in this romantic comedy, whose action centers on the '80s singles scene. Eddy (David Packer) heads to California after his cousin, Skip (Scott McGinnis), promises him a job in the ad biz, but Eddy ends up with the unenviable task of handing out flyers on the beach. Turning his focus from the professional to the romantic, Eddy joins a video dating service and endures a series of inaccurate match-ups that drive him to adopt wilder and wilder guises for his video ads. Along the way, he meets Peggy Kellogg (Bridget Fonda), an employee of the dating service, but she's always got her boyfriend on her arm. Frustrated over Peggy's inaccessibility and the dead-end job he's unfairly been stuck with, Eddy finally decides to take a gamble -- to be himself in the yuppie fantasia of L.A. The soundtrack to You Can't Hurry Love features singer Phil Collins' cover of the '60s song from which the film takes its name. Kristy McNichol, Charles Grodin, and Sally Kellerman all appear in cameo roles. Kellerman previously appeared in writer/director Richard Martini's previous outing as a screenwriter, Three for the Road. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

Watch it, for alot of reasons....

Althought this wasn't a spectacular film, it was funny, and I like funny. Slow and cheesy at times but it was on the mark with portraying the facades of those who live in L.A. including the fake orgasims. Bridget Fonda was charming, David Leisure was a convincingly repulsive character, Kristy McNichol gets her freak on, and Charles Grodin's deadpan character was extremely hillarious, for alot of reasons! The movie had enough gems to make it a positive viewing experience. You just can't take it serious...

Why we didn't use the song..
Added 3/28/2000

Actually we used the song in the commercial. The version in the movie was much more expensive. I made this movie for $720k, and it's still running on comedy central. I've been told it made 10 million. I had a woman come up to me and tell me this film changed her life. "Why?" I asked. "Because I liked the message, 'you can be whoever you want to be without having to pretend to be some Hollywood phony.'" So one person got it. I'm glad to see it still lives on Amazon.com

Does every movie have to be some sort of serious war movie or have 100000 special effects in it,NO. This was a good funny movie to watch.Bridget Fonda was also a plus to watch as a young 24 year old.

Hurry and forget this bomb
Added 10/28/1999

I think is was 1988 when I saw YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE at the movies. As the opening credits rolled and the Phil Collins version, not the Supremes original, of the song "You Can't Hurry Love" played, I should have known I was in for a dull time. How could you name the film YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE but not use the original hit version of the song? If you don't care, I suppose. Not surprisingly, I remember little else about this bomb except that it bored me stiff. What does surprise me: YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE is available today on video but several quality pictures I remember very well are not! Forget YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE, and hurry.
