Emily Jackson (Brittany Murphy), better known to her friends as "Jacks," works as an assistant at "Vogue." Her wardrobe and Mini Cooper wheels may be enviable and top-of-the-line, but her love life is stagnant and dysfunctional. Ditto for her gay roommate, Peter (Matthew Rhys), a screenwriter with a fanciful imagination – especially in regards to a striking stranger that he sees in a hotel lobby. Could this mysterious lobby guy be "the one"? Meanwhile, enter Paolo (Santiago Cabrera), a potential romantic interest for – well, we're not sure, since he seems gay but may actually be straight! Chock-full of fabulous eye candy (provided by the high fashion milieu and the gorgeous cast), zingy dialogue, amusing romantic foibles, charming performances and big-name Hollywood cameos that we'll leave as a surprise, Love and Other Disasters is a thorough success
