Plot: A group of twenty-something graduate students play an on-going game of musical chairs with their love lives in this romantic comedy-drama. Danny (Matthew Letscher) is a self-styled professional student who is involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Zoey (Saffron Burrows), a struggling writer. However, Danny's close friend Amy (Carlo Gugino) happens to be secretly in love with him, and she is waiting for the romance to finally collapse so she can move in. Meanwhile, Alan (Jon Tenney) is teaching a class on writing and has fallen in love with the ditsy Molly (Sherilyn Fenn), who unfortunately has her eyes on one of her other writing professors, the older Bruce (Bruce Davison). In the meantime, Tim (Peter Krause) waits on the sidelines, wondering when his opportunity for romantic triumph and/or disappointment will arise. Lovelife was written and directed by Jon Harmon Feldman, who has worked in television as a producer on such series as The Wonder Years and Dawson's Creek. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Excellent Sleeper

Well written and very well acted, this obviously lower budget movie is funny and often charming. Not an all-time classic, but I wish more well-promoted romantic comedies were this good.

Funny & Touching

The lives of several faculty members, students, former students, wives, lovers and friends all intersect in this sweet romantic comedy based on and around a small college campus. All performances are real and heartfelt and it's a reminder that love and lust are two different things, and neither of them are very easy to find, but often worth the effort. Had this film featured "bigger names" it may have received a big theatrical release, but it seems more intimate on video and the lesser known actors make it more realistic, avoiding the conflict of "celebrity baggage" that so-called big names can bring to a smaller project like this. Kudos to the actors and director for a sweet, comfortable 90 minutes.

Also, look for Sports Night's Brian Krause in a couple of really funny scenes at the beginning and end of the film. My only wish was that there was more of him in the movie.
