Actor and playwright
Dan Bucatinsky wrote the screenplay for this adaptation of his play
I Know You Are, But What Am I?, though for the big-screen version, his slightly fractured love story was given a same-sex twist.
Eli (
Dan Bucatinsky) is a journalist working with a major L.A. newspaper who is single and not loving it.
Eli is also gay, and makes no secret of the fact that he's looking for a nice guy that he can settle down with.
Eli's best friend
Brett (
Adam Goldberg) knows a woman named
Jackie (
Sasha Alexander), who says she has a friend who would be perfect for
Eli. Thus
Eli is introduced to
Tom (
Richard Ruccolo), a special education instructor and devoted nightlife enthusiast.
Eli and
Tom's first date turns out to be just short of a disaster;
Tom indulges in his overweening enthusiasm for alcohol and tobacco, and
Eli is disgusted to learn
Tom has never seen
Gone With the Wind. Things appear to be over for
Eli and
Tom before they even started, until they meet by chance while shopping a few days later; this time, a conversation rather than an argument develops, and the two end up spending the night together.
Eli begins to think love may have finally found him, until
Tom dashes off the next morning, leaving
Eli to wonder if
Tom has any interest at all in a long-term commitment.
All Over the Guy also features small cameo roles by
Lisa Kudrow, as an actress not skilled in voice-over work, and
Christina Ricci as
Eli's cynical sister.
