Film Overview

“I can see your hymen from here,” so says Amelia’s boss in this upbeat comedy about looking for love, thinking of romance, and finding yourself. In BREAD AND BUTTER, 30-year-old Amelia is looking for her first boyfriend and—even with the help of her eccentric boss, her overbearing parents, and her best friend—her luck seems to be running out. With her nose buried in a book, she finds romance in a stranger who has left notes in the margins and soon finds herself entranced with this man who also videotapes his own will. Charming, funny, and unique (like any great date), BREAD AND BUTTER bills itself as the “anti-romantic comedy” and holds the audience’s hand as we watch Amelia navigate the book guy (Leonard) and Daniel (the delightful Bobby Moynihan of SNL) in a love triangle pitting both sides of Amelia’s romantic notions against each other. Will she choose the brooding Leonard or the affable Daniel? Are her ideas of romance and love feasible? Will she ever find someone to butter her bread? Love has questions; BREAD AND BUTTER has answers. – T.W.
