Deb Dorfman (Sara Rue) is a sweet, lovable young woman with a tendency to let everyone in her life take advantage of her. She works as an accountant for her spoiled brother Daniel (Jonathan Chase), but these days, she spends most of her work day cleaning up her brother's messes and covering his infidelities from Daniel's wife Leeann (Keri Lynn Pratt). Deb's father Burt (Elliott Gould) is still mourning the death of Deb's mother and can't eat a proper meal much less care for himself, so Deb has to regularly check in on him. As if all of these problems weren't enough, Deb's longtime crush Jay (Johann Urb), a foreign correspondent, has to leave town on a work assignment right after moving into a new apartment. Hoping to seal the deal with Jay, Deb volunteers to stay at his apartment while he is gone, unpack his boxes, and look after his cat.

A young woman living with her dad gets a shot at love in the 2011 romantic comedy Dorfman in Love starring Sara Rue (TV’s Rules of Engagement) and Elliott Gould (Contagion).
San Fernando Valley girl Deb Dorfman (Rue) has no special guy in her life, though she spends an awful lot of time taking care of men.

In reviewing romantic comedies, one of the best descriptions of a movie is to call it as “cute.” It basically means that the movie is definitely not great, but one is trying really, really hard not to classify it as abysmal.
And with many people, the word “cute” is probably the best description for “Dorfman in Love.”
“Dorfman in Love” follows a young woman named Deb Dorfman (played by Sara Rue), who has a crush on a handsome international news reporter Jay (played by Johann Urb). Jay gets an assignment to cover events in Afghanistan and Deb volunteers to babysit his cat and house sit his loft in Downtown Los Angeles.
As a girl from San Fernando Valley, she must adjust to the hustling fast lifestyle of Downtown Los Angeles with bars, night clubs and life in studio apartments. She eventually befriends a neighbor named Cookie (played by Haaz Slieman), who loves the promiscuous lifestyle.

Though it seems unlikely, someone this weekend is going to be dragged to see “Dorfman In Love.” Forget about the film for a second: who is this person, and what have they done to deserve this? Has he or she been bad? Isn’t there a cheaper way to dole out punishment then paying arthouse ticket prices for a movie that doesn’t even deliver on its basic premise at even a sitcom level? Why does the world hate this person? Do they owe thousands in back taxes? Did they accidentally murder someone while they were backing up their car? Are they a Kardashian? “Dorfman In Love” is the latest in a long line of films to pretend that when a plucky young woman isn’t engaged or married, it must be a personal and professional Hiroshima. That woman is Deb Dorfman (Sara Rue), an attractive cubicle drone who slaves...

Title: Dorfman in Love Director: Bradley Leong Starring: Sara Rue, Elliott Gould, Jonathan Chase, Johann Urb, Haaz Sleiman, Keri Lynn Pratt, Sophie Monk, Hayley Marie Norman, Kelen Coleman, Scott Wilson Saddled with a terrible, clunky title and a programmatic narrative that represents a fairly unpersuasive blend of the familiar and contrived, Los Angeles-set indie romantic comedy “Dorfman in Love” connects most fitfully as a vehicle for the charms of star Sara Rue. Penned by Wendy Kout and directed by Bradley Leong, the big-hearted movie is a sort of “Bridget Jones’s Diary” by way of “(500) Days of Summer,” though without the apexes of cleverness and flair found in those films. It’s charming enough [ Read More ]

Dorfman
Directed by Bradley Leong
Written by Wendy Kout
USA, 2011
After her mother dies, Deb Dorfman (Sara Rue), a timid accountant, has to live with her perpetually grumpy father (Elliot Gould) in the San Fernando Valley. A hopeless romantic, Deb is irreparably enraptured with Jay (Johann Urb), her brother’s war-zone reporter friend.
When Jay needs someone to cat-sit while he’s doing a piece in Afghanistan, Deb jumps at the chance, moving into his flat in downtown Los Angeles where the city, and some of its inhabitants, become a catalyst for her metamorphosis.
Justin and Taegan discuss.
Taegan: Dorfman is really lighthearted, well intentioned and inoffensive. It has a lot of Jewish jokes, which is sometimes excluding. At the screening, people were laughing at jokes and words that completely went over my head. I can see why it’s featured at Tjff.
Justin: I felt pretty lukewarm about it.
