(Possibly Fake) Documentary About Middle-Aged Singles

September 7, 2006 5:18 PM

About 5 years ago I saw a very funny, possibly fake documentary about middle aged singles looking for romance, but I have no idea what the title of the film could be. Help!

I caught part of it on cable- probably on Sundance or IFC- but I missed the beginning and had to leave well before the end. It was a feature legnth ensemble piece following four or five middle aged singles through their day in a large city (maybe NY?) Each person was shot individually giving a rambling monologue to an offscreen cameraman. I didn't recognize any of them as actors, so maybe they were real (but unusually funny) people. I only remember the characters vaguely: there was a laconic Persian-American woman, kind of overweight but proud of her big bust, an uptight rigid guy, a working class guy... Oh brother, I know this is a long shot. Anyone have any ideas?

(the bit about the shoes! and the woman with her million body creams! and the ageing lothario with his spare toothbrushes & extra tampons, "just in case they have that thing happening...*down there*"...oh god! i didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so i did both)
