Meek, owlish Felix and strident, catty Doris live in the same apartment building. His incessant typing bothers her; her gentlemen callers bother him. Felix informs the landlord of her activities, so Doris moves in on Felix. When they both get thrown out, they move in with Barney... until they drive him out! That's when Felix and Doris finally decide to put theory into practice. But do opposites attract?

god I wish this movie was good but there wasn’t a single positive aspect to this relationship. it’s crazy the amount of homophobic pejoratives they could fit into five minutes. there’s a good couple’s costume in here though! only if you’re okay explaining it to people all night.

“Doris, you’re a sexual Disneyland…”

She really has a thing for blonde nerds, doesn’t she?
