Solitaire for 2 (1995)

90s rom-com chaospsychic frustrationdesperate pursuit energy

Overview

Comedy

Katie can read minds. Being desirable, the male minds she reads are all thinking of one thing. She always responds by hitting them and storming off without explanation. Daniel is an expert in body language and interprets this as a sign she wants to be pursued. Since Daniel spends most of his time, when not terrorizing his students, pursuing women, Katie gets ever more exasperated that he is treating her exactly as he treats every presentable female from the motorcycle cop to the squeegee girl. She cannot read minds when her eyes are covered, or when minds are thinking in a foreign language, so she misinterprets Sandip's desire for hunger. She also holds Daniel responsible for his subconscious desire for his friend's wife (Caroline).

Trivia

Mark Frankel died tragically in a motorcycle accident just two years after this film's release.

Cultural

This bombed so hard it barely exists online—part of that weird 90s British rom-com wave that tried to replicate Four Weddings and failed.
