Mr. Right in this screwball comedy that marks a total departure for director Gregg Araki . With Splendor , he achieves his goal, getting about as far from angst as possible. Inspired by the old screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's, Araki brings us a romantic love story that follows the old pattern. However, since this is still a Gregg Araki film, he gives the trusty genre a big twist and makes it all his own. In a nutshell, here's the plot.
Girl meets boy.
Moments later, girl meets another boy. She falls for them both and dates them both, unable or unwilling to pick one over the other. Again in the screwball tradition, Veronica has a best friend to whom she can vent. Now, in a traditional screwball comedy, there would be no question which couple belonged together. Because of this refinement, we literally don't know until the last moment what Veronica decides to do.
