Synopsis
Jo (Laura Heisler) is having a bad year. She has major writer's block, a rather dire caffeine addiction and is deeply mourning the untimely death of her beautiful wife. To top it all off, her biological alarm clock is ringing off the wall. In an attempt to address the latter issue, Jo asks her late-partner's brother Jamie (Bryan Dechart) to be her sperm donor. Craziness ensues, in the form of a visit to the fertility clinic's psychologist (Annie Potts), and a love triangle with her two best friends (Raoul Bhaneja and Anna Fitzwater). As Good As You is a serious comedy about trying to grieve the right way, and maybe growing up a bit in the process.

Reviews "Authentically funny, sexy and moving." - Lisa McNulty, Producing Artistic Director, Women's Project Theater "A refreshingly funny, very moving story about love, loss and what it means to be human in the contemporary world." - Michael Mayer, Director & Tony-Award Winner "Dissects such pat notions as 'closure' and 'moving on' with wit and intelligence. The most commanding character is Jo's longtime friend Lisa, played with terrific sangfroid by Anna Fitzwater." - Los Angeles Times WINNER - BEST LGBT FILM - HOLLYWOOD REEL INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL Links See details about this film's theatrical run.
