Current Tribute rating: 5.00 
Ethan (Ross McCall), an all around nice guy, gets dumped because he wasn’t able to provide his fianc—e with the plush, stable life her friends were living. Desperate to get her back, he seeks help from his older brother Kyle (Paul J. Alessi), a tough talking sexist who seems to have a way with the ladies.
Kyle gives Ethan a crash course on women and dating much to the disgust of some of Ethan’s female friends. Just when it seems Kyle’s misogynistic theories are about to prove themselves to be true, things take an unexpected turn and force Ethan, Kyle and their friends to reassess their views on relationships.
