Synopsis

Frankie's a macho Italian-American guy from the Bronx all ready to propose to his girlfriend until he comes home and catches her in bed with his brother. Disillusioned, Frankie decides to change his life by moving to Manhattan and becoming an actor. He answers an apartment ad and, mistakenly thinking that "GWM" means "Guy With Money," winds up rooming with Warren, a gay choreographer. Needless to say, it's a learning experience for both men.
