| Plot Summary of Mr. Commitment |
|---|
"Duffy has a great relationship with his loving girlfriend of four years, Mel. On one of their regular Thursday nights in together, she suddenly proposes living together, and hints at marriage. Despite his love for her, Duffy feels a sudden wild wild panic at the thought of this commitment.
His hesitation is obvious. Mel breaks off their relationship, and Duffy is left in a romantic dilemma - why, if he truly loves Mel, can he not commit to her? Newly single, Duffy goes on some very ill-advised boys' nights out and goes on a date with a sexy television personality. But he cannot cope when he sees Mel on a date with her new man, Rob.
Duffy's attempts to reconcile himself to the thought of being without Mel for good are unsuccessful. Finally, after many romantic plot twists and false starts, he persuades her to take him back. There's a feel-good, happy ending for all. "
