STAR CROSSED LOATHERS

How much could you, would you endure, if you believed your ultimate reward would be... love? Or something close to it? Two date-dot-com hopefuls, Paige and Doug, are certainlly willing to risk finding out. There's just one little snag that neither counted on - their computer Cupid has skipped therapy. The result: a romantic medley of dueling psychos! The morning after a disastrous fling of spontaneous lust, they discover "Loathe In Bloom." Fortunately better sense - narrowly - wins out; after conceding mutual repulsion, the two sobered cynics gulp down their pride and attempt to backstep out of each other's life, with their respective truckloads of emotional baggage in reverse gear. That is until Paige's boss, Madeline gets involved, and in order to spare Paige's reputation, the two para-no-mores must survive a weekend getaway pretending that romance still blossoms amid the thorns. And as they say... hilarity ensues.

"A manic romantic comedy about two psychotics who meet through an online dating service... looks to be Foster's best work yet."
