2002106 min6.1 / 10

A sharp, cynical comedy-drama about masculine ego and emotional manipulation that uses a mentor-mentee dynamic to interrogate the gap between seduction theory and human reality.

A smooth-talking ad executive attributes his remarkable success with women to his ability to manipulate their emotions from the moment he first meets them. When his teenage nephew drops in for a visit, he soon learns that his approach isn't as foolproof as he thought when he attempts to teach the boy how to pick up women.
