The Souler Opposite

1998 · 104 min

A scrappy, talky indie romance that coasts on abrasive charm and mismatched chemistry, feeling wry and bittersweet rather than swoony.

Directed by
Bill Kalmenson
Genres
Romance, Comedy, Drama
Overview
Barry is a bitter, sexist thirtysomething stand-up comic with a penchant for aggravating the wrong people. When his act provokes a knuckle sandwich one night, the sensible, idealistic and much younger Thea picks him up. Although the two have nothing in common, that doesn't stop them from falling in love.
