“One of the things that I love about this film is that any time I have ever had screenings, I have had people come up to me afterward – people in their 60’s and 70’s, people in their 40’s, people in their 30’s and even young guys and women in their 20’s come over to me – and say, ‘Oh my God! I am Jake! I get it! I totally get it!’ So, in a way, I love that universal aspect of the frustration of the search for perfect love. Everybody is doing it. People in their 20’s and even people in their 70’s are all looking for that perfect love – unless, of course, they have found it.” – Howard Goldberg
