Amazon.com In the age of slacker comedies and underachiever heroes, here's an American indie that embraces movie trivia and the joy of so-called dead-end jobs without a trace of irony. Thirty-eight-year-old video-store clerk Paul Kolsby is the unlikely Prince Charming for young professional Sharon Repass, a welcome change for the self-involved yuppies she's been enduring. But when she's too embarrassed to introduce this minimum-wage slave to her friends, he upscales himself to the corporate world and becomes miserable in his newfound success. Yes, this shot-on-video production lacks polish, but the two leads are charismatic and likable and the script, for all its Clerks-lite asides, recalls the sweetness and snap of old-fashioned romantic comedy. For all the indistinct sets and underpopulated scenes of this starvation-budget production, this is the rare calling-card film that favors story and character over flash and contrivance. --Sean Axmaker Description The path of true love never runs smoothly, especially when you're a thirty eight-year-old video store clerk! Meet John St. Clair (Paul Kolsby), a happy employee of Videoland, until one fateful night when he waits on Denise Hunter (Sharon Repass), the girl of his dreams. Their love blossoms as John takes on a "real" job to impress Denise. But his conscience is torn when his new corporate life threatens to wipe out his beloved video store and swallow up time John could be spending with his true love. Romantic complications ensue in this touching, fast-paced comedy written and directed by Ana Barredo. Discover for yourself how nothing is easy once you've got... A Real Job!
