A misfire, despite an admirable lead performance
"Dorfman in Love"  is a romantic comedy about San Fernando Valley girl Deb Dorfman (Sara Rue), who has no special guy in her life though she spends lots of time taking care of men.  They include her demanding widowed father Burt (Elliott Gould); her vain, stingy married brother Daniel (Jonathan Chase), for whom she works as an accountant; and her journalist friend and secret crush, Jay (Johann Urb).<br /><br />When Jay has to leave town for a week on assignment, wallflower Deb happily offers to cat-sit at the cool downtown Los Angeles loft he's just moved into.  Deb busies herself giving the loft a makeover while Jay is away and, with the urging of Jay's neighbors, gives herself one, too.<br /><br />Ms. Rue does a commendable job with a role that locks her into stereotypical behavior and predictable outcomes.  She's has a pleasant personality, and that makes this otherwise bland film watchable.  Elliott Gould -- like Alan Arkin -- has entered that phase of his career in which parts call for cantankerous, kvetchy codgers.  His scenes enliven an otherwise uninspired movie.<br /><br />There are no extras on this DVD release.
