Hopeless - The Goss, The News And Stuff

the goss!

hopeless is frantic romantic comedy about Ben (Phil Pinner) and his friends.
Ben is a likeable neurotic who fantasizes about being in love.

For the last two years, Ben has watched his best friend Phil (Scott Wills) have a sickening fantastic relationship with Maryann (Mia Taumoepeau), the woman Phil snatched from under his nose. When Phil says that he's moving to Australia, this 'perfect' relationship starts to fall apart. Maryannn asks Ben to fix things up. Unfortunately, the more time that he spends with her the more he's attracted to her.

Ben's love-life is complicated by his attraction to Aleo (Sally Stockwell), a beautiful but oblivious exchange student who seems to fulfil all his fantasies. But Aleo is best friends with his ex-girlfriend, Wendy (Erica Lowe).
Ben tries to break through Wendy's defences in an attempt to find out more about Aleo, while simultaneously dealing with the unwanted advances of Trish (Lydia Harris), one of Phil's workmates.
