A group of twenty-something graduate students play an on-going game of musical chairs with their love lives in this romantic comedy-drama. Danny (
Matthew Letscher) is a self-styled professional student who is involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Zoey (
Saffron Burrows), a struggling writer. However, Danny's close friend Amy (
Carlo Gugino) happens to be secretly in love with him, and she is waiting for the romance to finally collapse so she can move in. Meanwhile, Alan (
Jon Tenney) is teaching a class on writing and has fallen in love with the ditsy Molly (
Sherilyn Fenn), who unfortunately has her eyes on one of her other writing professors, the older Bruce (
Bruce Davison). In the meantime, Tim (
Peter Krause) waits on the sidelines, wondering when his opportunity for romantic triumph and/or disappointment will arise.
Lovelife was written and directed by
