This small independent film from newcomer Jenniphr Goodman tells the story of a most unexpected womanizer (the terrific Donal Logue), who meets his match in the form of a forgotten woman (co-writer Greer Goodman) from his past. The title refers to a philosophy that is constantly spouted by the film's main character, and deals with the art of getting any woman you want. Of course this doesn't apply when you actually fall in love with the person and that's the direction this unconventional romantic comedy takes. Making the film even more compelling is the physical appearance of Logue (The Patriot, Blade), proving that it doesn't take the most handsome stud in the world to get what you want.

There is no doubt that Logue is the driving force of this film. He laces a cynical, self absorbed persona with a vulnerability that really makes the character believable. As you watch him make his moves, your always aware that, deep down, this guy is really afraid of getting hurt, and that's why I think many people will connect to this character. Logue really goes out on a limb emotionally and physically. On the downside, this film's love story doesn't really gel properly. Since the movie clocks in at under ninety minutes, I had a hard time believing these characters could get together so quickly, and it was hard for me to buy such a rapid and drastic change in Logue's outlook on things. Still, much of this story is refreshing and the dialogue has an interesting rhythm bringing to mind the fun wordplay in Swingers. The Tao of Steve isn't brilliant cinema, but it is a nice small piece of entertainment that has it's heart in the right place. It also presents a message to womanizers everywhere that you will all meet your match someday. And I would like to say that the Tao of Steve has nothing on the Tao of Adam, baby!
