 Director John Putch and Missi Pyle. |

There were two private screenings at ArcLight Hollywood on Thursday
night, one for "The Hours," one for the upcoming "BachelorMan,"
but there was only one line snaking through the courtyard of
the shiny new complex. "This line is for 'The Hours' only,"
said a handsome young man with an ArcLight dog tag around his
neck as he moved along handing out discount parking stickers.
"Is everyone in line here for 'The Hours'?"
In a way, it was a moot question. One look at the queue and
you knew these were not the sort of folks who were going to
turn out for a film called "BachelorMan."
The median age was perhaps 50, there were a lot of really good
coats and handbags, much Coach and original Burberry, a few
Liberty-type scarves. There were many clusters and pairs of
women, some holding copies of the novel from which the film
was made.
A pair of twentysomething guys approached the end of the line.
"Are you here for 'The Hours'?" the theater official
asked. They shook their heads vehemently, looked a little frightened.
"BachelorMan," they said in unison.
No kidding.

 Can you tell I hadn't slept in two nights? Sheesh. |

 It's over. It went well. I fall asleep, mid-sentence. |

FILM FESTIVAL REVIEWS

Bachelorman: Bachelorman has the same traits as its lead character, the smiling schmoozer of a ladies' man who always gets his girls: It's a sex comedy that's completely irresistible. You get charmer David DeLuise (youngest son of Dom) in the lead as Ted, and comically strong Missi Pyle as the unconquerable girl next door. Add to that a few entertaining special effects having to do with Ted's preterhuman bachelor superpowers, and moviegoers might consider this a score. (WINNER: Voted 'Audience Favorite' Award)

4 at 7:30 p.m. at Abacoa 16, 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Mizner Park
