Who is Jenna? The answer to this question remains elusive throughout this romantic comedy starring Tracey Birdsall and Bill Sorvino. Taking place in New Jersey, this rom-com features stereotypical mobsters and a porn star: Keven “the Hammer” Steele (Michael Tota). Other than references to porn, the movie follows an above-board romance between a handsome and charming financial advisor and a beautiful, smart attorney. All of the characters’ stories intermingle in this funny movie.
The feature film opens with the scene of two couples living next door to each other rushing to the hospital to have their babies. This frantic scene seems incongruous with the rest of the film other than to establish the fact that the two boy babies grow up to become best friends and currently work together in the firm Arrowhead Investors. Jonathan Burke (Bill Sorvino) is a financial advisor and Andy Roma (Joseph D’Onofrio) is an IT specialist.
After work one evening, the men are celebrating their mutual birthdays when Jenna (Tracey Birdsall), a beautiful blond, and her friends enter the bar. Andy tells Jonathan that he thinks Jenna looks like the porn star Jenna or perhaps Amber Lane. Jenna and Jonathan hit it off immediately and sing a karaoke song together. The romance advances quickly! An expert on porn films, Andy becomes frantic to confirm that Jenna indeed resembles one of his favorite porn stars; Andy searches the house he shares with Jonathan for his box of film tapes.
To complicate this comedy, Jonathan discovers his boss Joe Barcia (Garry Pastore) is Jenna’s brother-in-law. When Joe offers to promote Jonathan to senior financial director, the promotion comes with caveats. Jonathan must take over a mobster’s financial account from Joe, close the account of the porn star Keven “the Hammer” Steele, and not promote Scott (Edwin Guerrero), a likable gay black man that Jonathan has been mentoring. An ethical fellow, Jonathan is faced with multiple dilemmas, and, the movie resolves his problems in a humorous way. Optional. Who’s Jenna…? is suitable for romance or comedy collections in public libraries.
