SYNOPSIS:
A hunky but self-centered ad executive pretends he has life-threatening cancer in order to win back the
love of his ex in this wild American indie comedy
REVIEW:
The Love Patient tells the often hilarious, raucous tale of what one man would do to gain back his
ex.
Paul (Benjamin Lutz) is a cocky, fast-talking, hard-living, self-centered hunk and ad executive who thinks
he may have lost a good thing when sensitive hunk Brad (John Werskey) drops him and begins dating another
man. Not used to losing and determined to regain his love, Paul, in Lucy-inspired “great idea,” announces to
all that he has cancer, a sad situation which is sure to have Brad running back to him. But the plan he
concocted spirals out-of-control when Paul’s family spring into action by moving into his apartment and
making it a near-hospice. With distraught parents and a skeptical sister hovering around, any chance of
reigniting the romance with his ex becomes remote. A plan B is needed!
Populated by outrageous characters, this is a fun, entertaining, wacky romantic comedy of what one man
would do for love, brought to us by director Michael Simon (Gay Zombie).
