The Lonely Guy

Another entry in the long line of rom-coms where sadness somehow smells like roses. After catching his girlfriend with someone else, a greeting card poet stumbles through a parade of bad dates and worse advice. It mistakes despair for whimsy, but at least the protagonist never gets a stapler stuck in his head.
