Fast Food Fast Women
How important is the truth when falling in love? Bella is a Manhattan café waitress, about to turn 35, stuck in a long-term affair going nowhere. Paul is a widower, facing old age alone. Bella's mother sets her up with Bruno, a novelist/cabbie who likes to bed-hop and whose ex-wife expects their two children to stay with him for awhile. While Bruno learns some maturity from his young daughter, Paul answers a personals ad placed by a "widow, 60." The two couples - along with one of Paul's older pals and a Jungian stripper - sort out how to initiate a relationship these days, what to do when someone you like disappoints you, and when to tell the truth.
From the archive
Amos Kollek is a director, not many people know about these days. Still, film enthusiasts will know for his interesting take on New York in his films and collaborations with certain actors. Some of his films are accessible to watch online like platforms on the Internet Archive & Tubi, while others have fallen to obscurity and are very hard to find online. Fast Food Fast Women (2000) is a film that has fallen off the radar since it came out, but there are a lot of good qualities to find in this movie mainly the characters and the New York vibe in the turn of the millennia. Also, the film has Spanish subtitles made by the user who goes by rayorojo. Plot Synopsis:Overworked Manhattan coffee shop waitress Bella isn't looking forward to her 35th birthday. Stuck in a relationship with a married man for far too long, Bella takes a chance on frustrated novelist/taxi driver Bruno. Determined not to scare yet another man off with her dreams of marriage and family, Bella plays it cool and tells Bruno she hates children. A tough break for the womanizer since his ex-wife has just dumped two small children on him ... In her coffee shop world, Bella witnesses she's not alone in the bittersweet battle against romance's difficulties. Shy widower Paul struggles through the tender courtship of lively widow Emily. Ornery old Seymour gets a magical shot of youth when he falls for a sexy exotic dancer. Despite love's accompanying twists and turns, everyone holds out for the best. And the persistent Bella discovers fairy tales can come true...even in New York City.
