A Little Off Mark (1986) Robert Wheaton

Writer-director Robert Wheaton’s story of a shy guy, Mark (Parros), trying all the wrong moves to meet the right girl rides high on a romantic sensibility.  Although at first it’s hard to imagine the handsome Mark having trouble with the ladies, Parros gives a charming performance as the nice guy who finishes last.  UCLA’s north campus features prominently as this would-be Romeo’s ever-hopeful hunting ground.
