Jeana (Estella Warren) has never quite made it over the threshold and had sex. When things get a little heated with new boyfriend Tom (Michael Weatherly of "NCIS"), Sacramento's hot newscaster, she admits her virginity. Stunned, he blurts it out over the air while prepping for a story, and to Jeana's horror, she is a laughingstock at work, the pro-virginity gurus want her as a poster girl, the media won't leave her alone, and men keep coming up to offer to make a woman out of her. Then she meets quiet photographer Paul (Christian Kane), who works with Tom but has no idea that the sexy new gal he is friends with was in a relationship with a blowhard like Tom.

Meanwhile, Jeana wants to get her hands on the cruise tickets to Brazil to keep Tom from going on her dream vacation with someone else. Ever the arrogant jerk, Tom figures she wants to go with him. Will Jeana find out that Paul is aware of her secret? Will Tom's vacuous Russian ex Zsa Zsa accompany him on the cruise? The supporting cast includes former SNL player Victoria Jackson as a travel agent and the ever annoying Kathy Griffin as a lawyer in need of a muzzle.

Filmed entirely on location in California's capital city, the setting gives it a more realistic, non-Hollywood vibe. Overall, it is a cute and breezy romantic comedy, directed by Charles Matthau, son of the late Walter. The younger Matthau has a small role as one of Jeana's potential lovers.

I only bought this for Christian Kane. I'm slowly collecting all of his movies. This one is fairly predictable, standard chick flick sort of movie, with the standard cliches and a slightly playful ring to it.

The virgin thing that is supposed to be the hook is at least not handled offensively, speaking as someone who didn't do the deed until 28 for various reasons that were not unlike the main character's reason. Though, to be fair, had I had an offer from Christian Kane, no reason in the world would have been good enough.

It's a pleasant diversion, and like I said, the kissing thing is superb. I could watch that boy kiss for hours.

When do you ever find a movie with a good story, funny, for adults? But with no cussing, no nudity, but plenty of sex appeal. Great movie.

Great guy gets girl and vice versa with lots of twists and turns and smart, sassy comedic interludes. A great movie when you get together with your girlfriends...and guys like it too...but they might not admit it!

I love all the Sacramento backdrops..a great movie if you live in Sac because you can pick out lots of venues.

Estella Warren plays a computer professional who is (at the beginning of the movie) dating Michael Weatherly, a television news anchor, who just doesn't get it. He keeps trying to get Estelle in bed, who unbeknownst to him is still a virgin at 27. After she reveals her secret, he accidentally spills her "minor thing" on national tv. Problems arise, and then it happens...in comes Christian Kane, who bumps into Estelle at a coffee shop(?), and it's instant chemistry. This movie, although the writing can be overall weak at times, is actually one of the better movies I've seen in quite a long while. The 3 main actors really bring the story to life. It is very enjoyable to watch again and again. And Christian Kane? All I can say is OMG. THE finest. I would recommend this movie for: (1) people who are tired of movies that feel the need to swear every other sentence, (2) want a lighthearted romantic comedy they can watch over and over, and (3) definitely anyone who is an avid Christian Kane fan will love this movie. It will make you wish you were Estelle Warren.

While watching this movie I got the odd sense of watching a porno not because of any sex scenes (there aren't any) but rather because the acting seems like porno quality. I'm not usually a big critic of acting in romantic comedies, but in this movie it just really bothered me. I couldn't get beyond that to the movie. Not that there was much else to the movie as it was a pretty banal plot.

I remember seeing this movie on new release shelves, however I passed it by because I did not know anyone in it or saw a trailer for it. NOW I watch NCIS and Leverage and thus know BOTH the male leads. I rented it on a Friday night and watched it no less than 7 times and ordered a copy before it was due on Wednesday. This movie is hilarious. The plot seems silly with a reporter accidentally telling the city (and beyond) that his girlfriend is a virgin but it makes a great launch point. Everyone contributes to the humor and greatness in this movie. When I think of my favorite scenes or parts-they are varied and nearly everyone is a part of at least one. It was great to see Christian Kane in a goofy fish out water sweetheart role, Michael Weatherly is SO good at playing a narcissistic idiot and Estella is just awesome. One of my faves has to be Rachel Dratch as the men hating roommate who gives her opinion that killing or maiming the guys is always the best course of action. I tell people if you liked Someone Like You-this is even better! There isn't a part of this movie I didn't like. The running gags are great too and done perfectly so as not to get overbearing. I dare you not to laugh at least once! Easily one of my absolute favorites.

This movie REALLY tells the story about what women want from the MAN were dating. It was a great movie, filled with at least one character we can all relate to.

I actually got the movie because Christian Kane is in it.
Not usually my genre of movie, but I enjoyed it. Probably because Christian Kane is in it..If you are looking for something light-hearted to watch...this is it.

Excellent movie for anyone looking for a sweet, light-hearted romantic comedy. Christian Kane makes the perfect romantic lead -- sooo handsome, sooo romantic and soooo sexy. It's one that I watch over and over again!
