Summary of Bent

It's amazing what you can find when you're a little bit lost - and how ironic at a time like this that you suddenly find yourself attracted to exactly what used to repel you!

That's the situation for Alex and Pete. On the surface, they could not be more different. Alex is strong, resilient, tough-as-nails and recently divorced, now raising her eight-year-old daughter as a single mom. She's also a lawyer, which is funny because her ex-husband is in jail for fraud. Determined not to let anything do her in, she stays the course by not taking grief from anyone... oh, and she's just decided to redo her kitchen.

Enter Pete, the contractor she hires for the job. Pete is a recovering gambling addict, avid surfer and unapologetic womanizer. His vices have ruined his relationships with his old construction team, and Alex's kitchen job is his last chance to prove that he won't just blow it all again.

But he's not quite prepared for what's about to hit him when he encounters the force that is Alex; nor does she realize that her rigid facade is about to crumble at about the same time her kitchen gets demolished. And if Pete didn't have enough to deal with, his father - played by the inimitable Jeffrey Tambor - is competing with him for womanizer of the year and it's clear to see the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Users Reviews

.
There are hints of a good show here (some good actors, some sharp lines) but it doesn't come together. There's no really chemistry between the characters and the dialogue is, mostly, flat.
