It would be easy to dismiss The Seat Filler as a by-the-numbers romantic comedy, the only difference being its mostly black cast.

Rated: 2/4

Females take it on the chin with the description of one as "a snaggle-toothed crack-head with four baby-daddies." Worse, it is suggested to the protagonist that dating a prostitute would be a step up for him. Sorry, no redeeming qualities.

Rated: 0/4
