Kan and Yu's trite latest (after China Dolls
) stars Sarah Cho, a Manhattan bartender/would-be actress with more fantasies than auditions. When she happens to luck into meeting Daniel Wong, the producer of Sarah's favorite soap opera, and he invites her to L.A. for the series' 25th anniversary party, she books a flight and her dreams begin to look more like reality. Amazingly, Daniel is romantically interested, agents are professionally interested, and Sarah's career appears to be taking off. Of course, she must choose between her California dreams and her struggling actor friends back in New York. Unfortunately, the dialogue, characters, and plot never rise above blasé; Sarah's success is never in doubt; and the authors miss nearly every opportunity to find genuine humor. (May)
