Amos_Kollek directs this quiet, understated comedy about lonely hearts and empty pockets in New York. Pushing 40, Bella (Anna_Thomson) works as a waitress at small downtown diner in Manhattan. Her elderly regulars include Paul (Robert_Modica), a lovelorn retiree who scours the personal ads and his ill-tempered buddies Seymour (Victor_Argo) and Graham (Mark_Margolis), who are more than a little disparaging toward Paul's attempts at finding love. Involved in a 12-year relationship with married Broadway theater director George (Austin_Pendleton), Bella craves marriage and children. On a blind date set up by her mother, Bella meets Bruno, a divorced cabbie and fledgling novelist with two young children. Meanwhile, Paul meets ready-and-willing widow Emily (Louise_Lasser), while Seymour shacks up with Wanda (Valerie_Geffner), a stripper with a master's degree. This film was shown in competition at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. Jonathan Crow, Rovi
