Understanding Jane

Synopsis

Elliot and Oz are two normal guys with nothing better to do. Dallas and Popeye are two streetwise girls without a care in the world. They're opposites - they were never meant to meet - they were never meant to get on. Now all it takes is one drunken night and they're all going on a blind date.
