First dates suck

Getting Personal is a modern take on human connections and interactions explored via four couples who are on first dates resulting from personal ads. This witty, offbeat comedy/drama offers up a mix of characters who dramatize gay, lesbian and straight relationships. They travel paths through loss and starting over, pornography and religion, control vs. complacency, and sex vs. intimacy. As the characters connect, rant, kiss or recite bad poetry, they serve as stand-ins for all of us who have ever been in love, lust, a romantic relationship, or just on a really bad date...
