***1/2
A generally sweet and unassuming little romantic comedy, "Management" pits a socially-backward, good-natured doofus (Steve Zahn ) against a near-psychotic super-stud (Woody Harrelson) for the attention and affections of a seemingly unattainable dream girl, played by Jennifer Aniston.
Mike and Sue meet one night when Sue, a salesperson from Baltimore, stays at the motel Mike's parents own and operate - and where Mike works as handyman and general Mr. Fixit - in the Desert Southwest. Despite the stark personal and socioeconomic differences between them, Mike becomes so infatuated with Sue that he pursues her, first to Maryland, then to her boyfriend, Jongo's, home in Washington State.
"Management" is an uneven, though frequently endearing, minor-league romance that skates by on the likeability and charm of its three lead performers. It doesn't always get the tone right, occasionally going too broad for its laughs, as when Mike, desperate to get back in touch with Sue, jumps out of an airplane and straight into Jongo's swimming pool. Still, when it's being low-keyed and tender and sticks to the rudiments of offbeat romance, the movie modestly and unassumingly works its way into our hearts - even if it defies credibility a good deal of the time.
