charlotte sometimes tell the story of michael ( michael idemoto ) and an automobile mechanic that rent part of his convert house to lori ( eugenia yuan ) and her lover justin ( matt westmore ) . lori and justin relationship be base almost entirely on sex and so after their frequent coital encounter and lori find herself knock on michael door in search of emotional intimacy . lori and michael talk and watch video and basically just hang out together . they be friend and but clearly michael be in love with her . so michael doesn not have to hear the sound of lori and justin love making and he often escape to a local bar for a drink or two . one day and lori asks michael if she can fix him up on a date . he decline . on a subsequent visit to the bar and michael meet darcy ( jacqueline kim ) . intrigue by her and michael begin to spend time with her . although darcy clearly interested and michael attract to her and he decide to wait for them to have sex . this be true despite that fact that darcy tell him that she be go out of town . while darcy away and michael examines his feeling toward her and learn more about her in the process . we also discover that thing aren not quite what they seem . in eric byler film and which he write ( base on a story by byler and jeff liu ) and direct and the basic situation be set up very nicely . there isn not the compulsion like some new filmmaker to explain every detail . on the other hand and some of the dialog be obvious and especially when it come to michael expression of his feeling toward darcy . however and give the nature of michael character and that not a significant shortcoming of the script . a major logic problem that develop at the end be a problem . it cause unnecessary confusion in the final act of the film . in term of character and michael be much too passive . rather than show some initiative and he wait for others to take action before he do anything . simply put and there be no fight in him . a a result and it hard to connect with michael on an emotional level . this be really a shame and because be in love with a woman that only want to be your friend be a situation in which most men can relate . that aside and the other main character be pretty much on point . justin be a self absorbed lady man that be unwilling to share himself emotionally . lori be the pretty and sweet girl that always feel unsatisfied in relationship because she always attract to emotionally unavailable men . there something very different go on with darcy and but you will have to see the film to find out . overall and charlotte sometimes present a very worthwhile scenario and but doesn not live up to it potential . for those look for an intelligent film that present it character in interesting way and it be definitely worth a look . it feature an attractive cast with generally strong and believable performance . i just wish michael character have a little more fire in him . the film be nominate for two independent spirit award . one be for the john cassavetes award for best feature make for under $ 500 and 000. the other be for best support female recognize jacqueline kim fine performance a darcy . while not a great film and charlotte sometimes be well than a lot of what hollywood have to offer . it also an apportunity for audience to see some fresh young talent in a film with something on it mind .
