Plot
Outline: A modern retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story among stand-up
comics, with a bartender helping her much better-looking friend seem smart.
Samantha Berger, a bartender in a New York comedy club, would like to do
stand-up comedy herself, but fears hostility because she's fat; instead
she writes material for others. When Jennie, who is attractive but not so
smart, sees a career opportunity, Samantha helps Jennie pretend to have
written the material herself... but the deception becomes more involved
as matters turn to romance.
