The lives of five L.A. natives intertwine in this romantic comedy from independent filmmaker and former
Robert Altman protégé
Alan Rudolph. Eve (
Lesley Ann Warren) is a bar owner who has sworn off permanent commitments, seeking only the temporary sexual satisfaction of men. Her roommate Ann (
Genevieve Bujold) is her polar opposite. In reality, Ann is secretly the radio sex therapist Dr. Nancy Love, but she has little romantic experience despite her profession. Into their lives comes Mickey (
Keith Carradine), a recent mental patient who might be an enigmatic pathological liar. Though she's powerfully attracted to Mickey, Eve's kept at arm's length by her lover Zack (
Patrick Bauchau), a married man whose wife (
Rae Dawn Chong) also finds Mickey irresistible. When Nancy sleeps with Mickey, he proposes marriage, but she rejects him, though the assignation does have a positive effect on her radio show. Considered
Rudolph's seminal work,
Choose Me (1984) was the third in a thematically-linked trilogy from the quirky low-budget director, the first two being
Welcome to L.A. (1977) and
Remember My Name (1978).
