Jim Jarmusch should get partial creative credit.....


I realize his movie "Broken Flowers" dealt with Bill Murray going to see all his old lovers to see if they sent a letter saying he had a child, and to also find out what happened in each case. But this is a lame partial rip-off. That said I can't seem to not watch it. I was always a sucker for Chachi Arcola (sic)

I would say it is more like the John Cusack movie High Fidelity. His girlfriend leaves him and he decides to track down all his old girlfriends, starting with his first, and ask them why the relationship didn't work out.

The idea of tracking down old loves to find out how you got to where you are predates High Fidelity.

You're correct though, Haverchuck is king.

Good call Haverchuck. I had forgotten that whole flick, which I enjoyed. Kids go you are right. It is a idea that has been used before H.F. and alot.
Haverchuck is king, I must agree.

Well you see High Fidelity, Broken Flowers, and this show do all have the same premise of sort. But wont you dont see is that the form two are both great movies while the latter is stupid, scripted reality show.
