‘Miss Dial’ story line relevant to technology obsession of today

“Miss Dial,” is a new romantic comedy that came out in February.

The film stars Robinne Lee of “Seven Pounds,” “Hitch” and “Hotel for Dogs,” Sam Jaeger of NBC’s “Parenthood” and Jon Huertas.

The story revolves around the idea that, “sometimes it takes a wrong number to make a right connection.”

Director David Steinberg wrote this film in addition to a number of movies in the “American Pie” series.

Steinberg describes the film by saying, “‘Miss Dial’ is a hilarious but heartwarming story about a consumer affairs rep who plays hooky from work by calling random strangers in order to reconnect with the world outside her apartment.”

Additionally the film received a number of awards and was released by an independent film company known as Iron Triangle Productions.

Sam Jaeger’s character is Kyle, an EMT. He finds a connection with Erica, played by Robinne Lee, after a phone call.

The couple meets on a phone call due to the fact that Erica is a consumer affair representative working from home.

It’s funny because of how relevant it is to today’s society.

We are so wrapped up in our social networking and being behind a screen instead of being with people in person.

This film touches on that current state in our society creating a humorous look at how people meet.

The majority of the film takes place with a split screen to view both characters while they are on the phone with one another.

This R rated comedy has a theatrical release in select cities and is now available on VOD, streaming and DVD.
