Rick has three simple goals: ruin his boss, steal back his girlfriend, and write a hit screenplay. If only he could find the right video.
Real estate agent Rick Morgan is trying to write his way into Hollywood, but he’s at another dead end. The video store, which has always been a source of inspiration, is doing little to help him at present, until a sexy and flirtation video store clerk recommends a new genre, teen romance. He doesn’t relish the idea of writing a teeny love flick based on his own trouble love life, but the more time he spends with it, the more its connection to his real life intensifies his interest in it. With the clerk’s help, Rick finds the inspiration he needs to figure out how his protagonist can win back the girl of his dreams. Then, in the hope that that art really does imitate life, he applies the same tactics to his own romantic pursuits, only to find that life is a lot less predictable.
