Janeane Garofalo may have no more than a cult following here, but it's growing fast. She's the best reason to check out... read more on Time Out

Oi, hands off!
I'm not sure how subtly I can put this but.... I LOVE THE VERY GROUND JENEANNE GAROFALO WALKS! Yeah, I think that will do.
Having never needed the use of personal ads (what with my Silent Bob looks / physique and Bill Hicks-esque filthy sense of humour) I just cannot understand what would drive a person to use one.
The horror of meeting someone you are only familiar with from a few clichéd sentences in a newspaper column and a stifled phone conversation... urgh!
‘Sweethearts’ explores this concern with razor like wit and almost unbearable dramatic aplomb.
Mitch Rouse plays Arliss, a likeable lonely everyman (who looks like my friend Brad - not that that’s much use to you) who meets with the VERY LOVELY Jasmine in a coffee house.
What follows is just wonderful. Superbly acted, moving, funny and woefully under viewed.
Rent this... now.

Only worth it for Garofallo
Janeane Garofallo saves this indie curiosity through her compelling central performance as the blind date from hell. Every moment she's on screen is one to savour. But beyond that her co-star is significantly more boring and forgettable. The plot although with great potential never really had the space to go anywhere being confined to a single location. There's great support from Margaret Cho and the screamy bloke from Police Academy but really this is only for Garofallo fans.
