Museum curator Minnie Moore's life has not turned out how she expected. She's a divorcee who's just turned 40, with a boyfriend Jim who's married to someone else. A nasty break-up and a blind date that goes horribly wrong lead to a chance encounter with parking lot-attendant Seymour Moskowitz. Seymour falls in love with Minnie at first sight, but can he convince his seemingly polar opposite to feel the same way?

Recommendation
Minnie Moore says, “You know, I think a movie is a conspiracy. I mean it. They set you up to believe in love.” In Minnie & Moskowitz, we watch, stunned, as an undefined emotion and an entirely unexpected relationship unfold. Whether what the film depicts is really love, and whether it could work as a ”conspiracy” to make the audience believe in it, is highly questionable. Still, I was perfectly set up.
