Hello
Ladies, here comes Stuart (Stephen Merchant), a recent transplant
from England who lives in L.A. and thinks he is God's gift to women.
Each night, Stuart hits the Hollywood night life looking for parties
and super models/actresses and to see if they are willing to come
home with him and shag it with him. Stuart is a 6'7"
tall giant with a British accent. Unfortunately, that is where his
charm ends in this Complete Series with telefilm set.
Most
of the time, he ends up being as either the gofer or the guy who gets
to pay the bill. While he runs a small but successful computer
software company, he is the nerdy desperate guy who is willing to do
anything/spend anything to get girl. His best friends are Wade, a
recent divorcee who can't forget about his ex-wife, Kives, a
paraplegic who gets more girls than Stuart and Wade put together and
Jessica, Stuart's roommate/boarder actress whom Stuart uses to
introduce him to other actress/models.
This
series makes fun of geeks and nerds who can't get girl friends and is
almost painfully funny to watch and laugh at as the main character's
attempts to woo women. If it wasn't for the British accent, I
wouldn't have found it nearly as amusing. Every episode is him using
a new tactic to pick up girls and then seeing how it ultimately ends
with epic fails.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
mix on all the shows play as well as they can in the format. Extras
include behind the scenes with cast & crew and deleted scenes.
