Buying the Cow
Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?
Directed by Walt Becker
Produced by Destination Films
A lighthearted sex comedy about commitment anxiety that trades on crude humor and romantic entanglement rather than depth or originality.
A commitment-averse man frantically hits the dating scene after his girlfriend starts pressuring him to pop the question.
