the trouble with romance opens in new york this friday

Okay, I must remind you that Gene Rhee's feature film The Trouble with Romance opens this Friday, February 27 at the Quad Cinema in New York. This is a low-budget independent film is getting limited distribution from Warner Brothers, so this is a good opportunity to see it on the big screen.

The film is a romantic comedy featuring a quartet of vignettes about the challenges and heartaches that come with falling and staying in love. It stars Roger Fan, Emily Liu, Sheetal Sheth, David Eigenberg, Jennifer Siebel and others. It's heartfelt, sometimes a little twisted, sometimes crude and gut-busting funny.

The film has also been getting some attention because of its stars is none other than San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom: The Nearly Naked 'Other' First Lady!

And here's a very gross, funny-ass clip of Roger Fan's "dump" scene from my favorite segment in the movie: The Trouble With Romance Uncensored Clip. Beware the uncensored sight of Roger's naked ass. I told you, there's a little something for everybody. When in doubt, go with the potty humor.

So check it out! Do it for my buddy Gene. Do it to support independent Asian American filmmakers. Spread the word and bring a friend. To learn more about the film, check out the MySpace page here and the Facebook page here. Watch the trailer here.
