This premise would make a GREAT idea for a chick flick. I’ve seen the genre so many times, I know it by heart. Girl hatches this sinister idea. After dozens of crummy dates looking for a free meal, meets the man of her dreams. Chick falls in love with him. Guy finds out that she was just doing it for the free meals, dumps her. She finds a way to get him back. The walk off together, fade out to smooching. Done! $80 million in gross, minimum, guaranteed. More if it’s Aniston, less if it’s anyone from Sex and the City.

That’s perfect! I can see it too. You got the basic plot outline correct too. Boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. They use it over and over and over. It’s as standard as verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus chorus.

How about casting someone famous who isn't 100?

RE: Rom-Com, She finds a way to get him back.

And she says something like: "You had me at hello."

Julia Roberts/Richard Gere, whore with a heart of gold, blow him but won't kiss him until he marries her.

$3K a night or $1,200 over time for burgers, same thing different price.

Sounds like “Sea of Love” but in reverse, and instead of free meals, Al Pacino was pumping the chick (so to speak) for information.

More if it’s Aniston...

Ol' Jen is holding up pretty well for a Ms. Forty-sumpthin'!

I think you've got a winnah. Put this on an 'I hate Alec Baldwin' thread and you might have a movie... he reads us...
