101 Ways (The Things a Girl Will Do to Keep Her Volvo) ★½ 2000

Actually, struggling writer Watson (Hoopes) doesn't seem to be trying too hard to keep that car, which her mother insisted she purchase because of its safety record. Watson has moved from the bright lights of the Big Apple to the suburbs of Connecticut in order to concentrate on her career but since she has to pay the bills, she works ineffectually at a couple of nothing jobs. The flick itself is ineffectual and Watson isn't terribly likeable so who cares what happens to her. 100m/C DVD . US Wendy Hoopes, Glenn Fitzgerald, Jamie Harrold, Jack Gilpin, Patricia Elliott, Gabriel Macht; D: Jennifer B. Katz; W: Jennifer B. Katz; C: Jeffrey A. Splett; M: John Hodian.
