Ryan (Christopher
Barnes, The Brady Bunch Movie) is a rookie stockbroker who has trouble with women and lives with his psychic mom (Victoria
Jackson, Saturday Night Live). Pete (Brad Rowe, Full Frontal, Body Shots) is a slick surfer dude who lives in his Volkswagen
van on the beach; he's good with women but can't seem to commit to just one. Living in Miami, they're 27-year-old best friends
who each meet the woman of their dreams on the same fateful day. Ryan knocks heads, literally, in an elevator with the gorgeous
Jessica (Kristin Richardson, Rock Star, Man on the Moon) but passes out before getting her number. Pete falls for an insatiable,
sexy Italian woman, Tiara (Krista Allen, Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding, Anger Management, Baywatch Hawaii), but there's one big
problem -- Tiara's uncle, mob boss Vincent Bublione(Burt Young, Rocky), is intent on keeping her away from guys like Pete.This
high-energy romantic comedy will have you asking: How far will you go for true love?

Story Line: In Miami, shy Ryan (Barnes) finally gets
the nerve to take out Jessica (Richardson). But their date is ruined by his best friend, Pete (Rowe), a surfer dude who loves
the luscious Tiara (Allen), who is being guarded by her Mobster uncle's (Young) goons.
Bottom Line: There are humorous complications in store
for couples Ryan and Jessica (who meet when they knock heads at an elevator) and Pete and Tiara (who are introduced to each
other during a store robbery) in this fast-paced rom-com. The resulting comic mayhem is as bright as the Miami sunshine that
lights the film, and despite the clumsy transitions between the plot points, director Brockette keeps things moving so quickly
that there isn't enough time to ask questions. Shut Up and Kiss Me is harmless, inoffensive fun that showcases a talented
cast. The attractive quartet at the film's center is surrounded by quirky secondary characters, including former '80s SNLers
Victoria Jackson and Kevin Meaney and hammy Frank Bonner ("Herb" in WKRP in Cincinnati). But the standout is Allen
as the cartoonishly randy Italian virgin Tiara. Allen's performance highlights her beauty so potently that her catalog of
eight Emmanuelle sex romps might see some peripheral action.
