PURPLE VIOLETS Edward Burns, Debra Messing, Selma Blair DVD NEW

Set in lower Manhattan, Purple Violets is a sparkling romantic comedy about four friends from college ready for change.

Patti Peterson (Selma Blair - Legally Blonde) is a promising writer but work and marriage keep her from her dream. Her yearning to write is complicated after running into first love Brian Cahill (Patrick Wilson - Little Children), a successful crime novelist. Meanwhile, Patti's best friend Kate (Debra Messing - Will and Grace) is a tough-talking school teacher who has a few problems of her own.

Despite Brian's gorgeous Tribeca loft and house in the Hamptons, he longs to write works of greater literary value. Murphy (Ed Burns - Saving Private Ryan), his lawyer and best friend from college still carries a flame for his former girlfriend Kate, though their relationship ended badly years ago. But when Patti sells Murphy a new apartment, and Brian publishes his personal novel, these old friends reconnect in unexpected ways.
