How Do You Know (2010)

Lisa, a baseball player who has been cut from the team, has a relationship with Matty, who is also a player and can't adjust to monogamy. She meets George, an executive who is in serious legal trouble.

Although the general lines of this follow the romantic comedy paradigm, with an underlying praise to weddings and babies, it has a few interesting things in its construction and in several individual sequences which make for a pleasant viewing. The three main characters exemplify distinct attitudes regarding one's own interests: Lisa has a hard time seeing where her interests lie, George, after a history of confusion, suddenly has a clear idea about his, and Matty simply doesn't need to care about the issue at all.
