Steven watches his brothers relationship bloom, longing for Melissa all the while. Eventually, Melissa leaves to go to college and the brothers go on with their lives. Steven becomes a workaholic to block out his feelings about Melissa and Rick becomes a spineless bellboy at the Hotel de Love, after a later girl friend stood him up at the altar. Enter Steven and Ricks warring parents visiting the Hotel de Love for their anniversary. Re-enter Melissa with her current boyfriend, Norman. Suddenly Rick and Steven have a second chance at Melissa. Also theres Alison the palm reader, Susie behind the counter, the owner/piano player, and the freshly married couple.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    The opening credits for the original British version of the series are only about 10 seconds long -- one of the shortest credit sequences in TV history (among shows with opening credits). The American version of the opening credits is some 3 times as long.

    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Anachronisms: After Sir and Norman leave the marketplace, theyre passed by a Routemaster bus. These buses were first used in London in 1954, and werent used outside London until the 1970s.

    Trivia: There are 1 entries in the trivia list - like these:

    • A subplot involving Susan (the girl behind the counter) and Matt (a worker at the hotel) was cut. Matt gives Melissa some boxer shorts that cost $20. She doesnt have the money, but he lets her go, saying that she owes him. Throughout the movie, Matt was supposed to pop up at inopportune moments asking for the $20. It seems Susan wanted a physical symbol of their love. Matt never gets the $20. They fight, and by the end of the film, he gets Melissas necklace from Rick. Director Craig Rosenberg cut this subplot because it was not totally necessary.
