You Can't Hurry Love (1988)

Enter the world of Eddie Hayes, an Ohio native seeking a fresh start in the captivating landscape of Los Angeles, after the bitter fallout of a love story back home. Eddie's lackadaisical cousin Skip offers him a lifeline, leading to an unexpected job interview at an avant-garde advertising company led by the peculiar Peter Newcomb. But instead of a corporate gig, Eddie finds himself in the whirlwind world of surfboards, working under Peter's rebellious half-brother Tony. Amid the chaos of his new life, Eddie crosses paths with the enchanting Peggy Kellogg – an employee of a dating service with a charming boyfriend and an engagement ring on her finger. Seizing an opportunity to be close to Peggy, Eddie wears the hat of a director, creating low-budget TV commercials for the dating service. However, the glitzy world of LA masks a crucial lesson – success isn't about donning a façade. As Eddie navigates a series of dates through the video dating service, he uncovers the truth - authenticity trumps pretension. No amount of acting can replace the magic of being oneself, a lesson learnt from the comedy short film "Video Valentino". In this vibrant comedy, witness Eddie's journey of self-discovery, as he grapples with the question - will he embrace his true self and capture Peggy's heart, or will he continue to play roles that are not his own? This is a story about love, identity and the audacity of being oneself in a city that urges you to be someone else. It's not just about hurrying love, but about finding yourself in the pursuit of it.
