LOST AND FOUND

Comedy/Romance

Synopsis: A comedy about finding one's true love at any price, even if it involves you doing a little dognapping along the way.

THE STORY
Boy sees girl, boy falls for girl, boy steals girl's dog, boy pretends to rescue dog, boy gets girl??

Dylan Ramsey (DAVID SPADE) is an ordinary guy with a great life and a great Los Angeles apartment. He is opening a new restaurant. Things are looking good.

Into his life comes Dylan's new next-door neighbor, Lila Dubois (SOPHIE MARCEAU) a tall, stunning and extremely French woman... He's determined to get Lila's attention even if she is beyond his reach.

Unfortunately for Dylan, Lila is focused on three things: re-starting her career as a professional cellist in her newly adopted city; staying away from her dashing and pushy ex-boyfriend, René (PATRICK BRUEL); and creating a safe home for the new love in her life, Jack. Jack is a short, hairy, but in general, good-looking... cairn terrier. Despite Dylan's attempts to insert himself in Lila's life, he can't get anything more out of her than a neighborly "thank you" -- even after returning Jack following another of the pooch's attempts at running away. So Dylan does what any man desperately in love with the woman of his dreams would do -- kidnaps Jack, volunteers to help his distraught owner with the search and plans to produce the lost doggie in time to reap the gratitude (and a date?) from Lila. But then things start to misfire, thanks in part to the jealous René, a missing anniversary ring, Neil Diamond, pink dessert swans and surly loan officers.

It seems that the inclusion of Arte Lang (Mad TV, Dirty Works) is to fill in the void left by the death of Chris Farley. Filling those shoes will be extremely difficult.
