This could be the couples movie
of the year. Light, romantic, just
enough angst to keep it interesting
and none of that infidelity/betrayal
stuff that kills a romantic vibe for
a couple watching. Waiting on Love
is an episodic story woven around
a group of women friends and the
impending wedding of one of them.
Nikki Daniels and Steven St.
Croix just got engaged, and we see
them discussing their upcoming
wedding with friends at a bar before
we follow the two home and watch
them celebrate their betrothal by
rehearsing for the honeymoon in an
unhurried scene with moody light-
ing and bluesy saxophone music.
In two interleaved scenes, bar
waitress Carter Cruise hooks up with bartender Michael Vegas—leading
gives—“But there’s one thing I have to do first.”
her to tell roommate Karlie Montana she won’t be home for dinner, so
Montana seizes the opportunity to invite sad neighbor (his wife left him)
Chad White over to eat. The Cruise/Vegas scene is lustful and passionate,
and when Cruise, still stoked, bounces in after her tryst with a cheerful
“Guess what happened?!??” she finds Montana and White sharing a quiet,
peaceful supper. White leaves, embarrassed, and as soon as he gets home
he checks his answering machine. No new messages. After White’s dog
runs away—which isn’t presented as lamely as it looks here on the page—
he is amenable to being comforted by Montana.
The next morning, White has morning-after guilt about his tryst with
Montana, the guilt made worse by the recovery of his dog’s collar. Cruise
is similarly embarrassed by Vegas’ bar-wide kiss-and-tell after their set-to.
Cruise wants to confront him about his big mouth but he’s not available.
Just left on vacation. With his girlfriend. Cruise goes home and, finding
White asleep on a hammock outside, compassionately walks him inside
and tucks him into his bed. The next morning, they trade sad stories over
coffee and continue at a picnic lunch, where he tells of the love he still
has for his estranged wife who achieved success on Broadway, leaving him
behind.
Right before the wedding, Cruise finds that White (her plus-one for the
event) has decided to go to New York to see his wife and find out what
And then he walks over and gives Cruise a big, lust-
ful kiss. “What does this mean?” she asks. “I don’t
know. Let’s go.” Things get complicated when
White’s wife turns up at the wedding, and when he
gets her alone and asks her, “So what’s the plan?”
she says she needs to get some new headshots and
audition for an upcoming pilot.
Ending is appropriately happy and lustful, with
Cruise and White finally, romantically getting to-
gether after an hour-ten of missing it by that much.
Stormy Daniels continues to grow and mature
as a screenwriter and director, affecting a Sam
Fuller-like elliptical style where throwaway offhand
comments like “You haven’t talked to him in two
months since The Freezer Incident” carry impact,
even without context. On the tech side, Andre
Madness and J. Crew supply stylish videography.

AAAA
What a crazy, depraved web of fucked-up-edness Girlfriends
Films weaves with Wet for Women, a feature imagining the
outcome when the female contingents of two broken homes
are shoved together under the same roof. This one is pretty out
there. But it’s pretty high on the repeat-fap-o-meter too.
