Short Shorts

Synopsis:
Jackie and Anne stage an intervention on the subway when they find out that Darla is about to go on a date with the cute FedEx guy from their office building. While the women have nothing against Darla, they hate the idea of her taking him away -- after all, the UPS guy is kinda ugly. But as the women discuss men and dating, they also begin to open up about their dreams of love in this sweet, offbeat comedy about work and romance.
