Editorial Review:
Writer/director Eric Schaeffer (If Lucy Fell) and Amanda De Cadenet (Four Rooms) steam up the screen with this humorous, provocative and sexy tale of lust and desire that "examines the surprisingly tender sides of erotic craving" (MovieMaker). For Michael Shiver (Schaeffer), life as an easy-going cab driver in New York suddenly changes when he picks up supermodel Sarah Easton (De Cadenet) and falls head over heels in love. But Sarah has more than just passion on her mind ? she also has a husband and a glamorous lifestyle that she can't seem to leave behind. Torn between her feelings for Michael and the security of her marriage, Sarah is forced to make a realistic decision about the sacrifices that must be made to be truly and totally in love.
Fall Reviews:
Couldn't stop watching. 
2009-09-14 - After seeing just a small portion of the film on an indie channel, I felt compelled to rent then own it. Interesting characters and great sound track.
You Won't Find A More Impressive Display of Egomania 
2009-07-16 - I won't say that Eric Schaffer doesn't have some filmmaking talent. He does. It's just that it takes a backseat to an ego that demands full-frontal nudity in the first five and final five minutes and this man is not Brad Pitt. He's not even Ben Stiller. I won't even get into him trying to pass for 20-something. It's well shot and unlike far too many films, does truly feel like NYC, but at the heart of it is this very unappealing man who wants you to believe he's irresistibly charming and could bag a supermodel (you'll have to suspend your disbelief to accept Amanda DeCadenet as a supermodel, though lovely she is) from the front seat of a cab. And if you've ever seen If Lucy Fell, you know this isn't the first time he's done this. His ego is go great he actually tosses the film's basic premise out in the final act to cement his greatness. It's on cable every other day. Save your money and catch it there.
Very non-congruent but intense story. However, I liked it.
2009-03-09 - A lot of this movie didn't make sense (non-congruent) but very passionate. You wanna see man get his heart squashed like a bug this is it. Watch out for those 10's, they'll crush you. Moral: "Be careful what you wish for."
WAY TOO SAPPY with FATTTEST SUPERMODEL EVER!
2008-11-14 - Really wanted to see this Movie.... Sorely DISAPPOINTED. Quite BORING. Really just an EXTENDED MUSIC VIDEO. The only humorous part was the CASTING: THIS IS THE FATTEST SUPERMODEL YOU WILL EVER SEE ON DVD(and NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE except for those BLOATED LIPS!) Sorry Schaffer, your standards must be quite lower than mine. I've dated scores of women that are far more attractive.
Surprisingly Sexy 
2008-09-29 - Great film with so much raw emotion that it is hard to watch but I could not take my eyes off the film. I watched the film late at night (early in the morning?) and immediately had to find out more about the male lead.
I did and now I am hooked. I liked this one better than "If Lucy Fell."
