I'm reminded of the films of William Haines c.1930 like "Speedway," "The Girl Said No" and "Just a Gigolo." In these movies the boy won over the girl mainly by stalking and annoying her. I wonder if generations of men were influenced by this genre to pursue women by being obnoxious.
In modern times, Henry Jaglom is an auteur who plays himself being obnoxious.
Auteur Schaeffer is extremely annoying in this film as he pursues "yoga girl." He interrupts her class twice to make his pitch. Instead of getting a restraining order, she seems to find this charming. Only in the movies.
After I saw "They're," I looked up my review on "My Life's in Turnaround," Schaeffer & Ward's first film. I had the same reaction: Effective dry humor, but some scenes go on too long.
