Romantically Challenged by Beth OrsoffMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Julie Burns is a thirty-one year old Jewish entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles. At yet another family wedding where she is forced to wear a hideous bridesmaids outfit she is informed that if she wants to have children before the age of 35 then she needs to find a husband in the next 12 months. Having signally failed previously she decides (egged on by her friends) that she has been too picky and that romance is a numbers game so she proceeds to go on a series of dates with men she would never normally have given the time of day to, and it goes just about as well as you could expect.
Julie tries blind dates, speed dating, a dating agency, online dating, friends of friends, dating cast-offs from her friends - you name it she tries it. The trouble is, at some point I stopped laughing/ shuddering at the awful men that an attractive 30-something woman has to put up with and started to think that actually Julie wasn't a very sympathetic character. Unfortunately, that was my lasting impression and so my question became who would want to date her?
