Alchemy (2005)

You’ve got to wonder why smart and sassy women have difficulties in finding the right man with which to spend their life. Maybe it is because they are smart and sassy. Toss in agile wit and good grooming and, sadly, it seems that their options decrease. I’ve known a few and their life seems to focus on their career and their personal life seems to lag. Not for lack of chances though. It seems that the sort of fellow who is in the frame for such a challenge seems to get distracted by short skirts and simpering demeanours. You can see that has been the history for Jane Rosenthal (Nadia Dajani) who has had a fling with both Dr. Troy Rollins (James Barbour) and Malcolm Downey (Tom Cavanaugh). Both let her slip through their fingers. But she may be lucky since Dr. Love is so self-absorbed, he didn’t see what was in front of him and Mal was so wrapped up in his research that he missed his chance. But he has another with Samantha Rose (Sarah Chalke) unless he forgets to look around and see what she is offering.
