If You Only Knew (2000)

A writer’s harebrained scheme to land the girl of his dreams backfires miserably in the winsome romantic comedy If You Only Knew (2000). Desperate for a chance at love with a beautiful New York City artist (Alison Eastwood), a novelist (Johnathon Schaech) decides to pretend that he’s gay so that she’ll have him on as a roommate. The scheme works, but only in part--Parker (Schaech) gets to live with his dream girl but spends much of the time trying to wriggle out of blind dates with men. Of course there are some perks; because her roommate’s not a bit threatening, Eastwood feels free to frolic around the apartment wearing nary a stitch.
