What's Your Number?

In bustling Boston, a city that hums with restless energy and quirky charm, a sharp‑tongued thirty‑something finds herself at a crossroads. After a recent breakup and an unexpected job loss, Ally Darling stumbles upon a cheeky magazine article that dares her to count the lovers she’s collected over the years. The premise—whether a tally of past romances can predict future happiness—sets the stage for a witty, self‑reflective comedy that balances humor with the universal search for meaning.

Compelled by the article’s provocation, Ally decides to take stock of her love life, treating each former flame like a clue in an ever‑expanding puzzle. The tone remains light‑hearted and slightly sarcastic, with a steady undercurrent of earnest yearning. Boston’s eclectic neighborhoods and its bustling subway serve as a lively backdrop, highlighting the protagonist’s feeling of being both lost and buoyed by the city’s perpetual motion.

Enter Colin Shea, an off‑beat musician next door whose own personal quirks make him an unlikely partner in Ally’s quest. Their tentative alliance is rooted in mutual need—she seeks a hand in navigating her tangled past, while he grapples with his own romantic entanglements. Their banter crackles with chemistry, and the film leans into their dynamic, offering a blend of comedic misadventure and heartfelt connection without revealing how their story unfolds.

The film promises a breezy, modern rom‑com atmosphere where introspection meets absurdity. As Ally revisits the ghosts of her dating history, the audience is invited to wonder whether counting past loves can truly guide one toward that elusive “one” — or if the answer lies somewhere in the unexpected moments that happen when old habits collide with new possibilities.
