There will be tears, tantrums and misunderstandings, but you know you"ll get there - and get your girl - in the end. Welcome to Pat"s world. It"s a world of silver linings and true love, but also a world where God makes movies and Kenny G lurks in your attic - and when Pat befriends the tragic Tiffany, he begins to question whether or not he might have got the genre wrong.
