The Giant Mechanical Man Jenna Fischer

Just when you thought you'd seen the kookiest rom-com out there, "The Giant Mechanical Man" ups the ante.

Newcomer Lee Kirk has played cupid with two unlikely mates: a silver-sprayed human statue and a zoo employee. The films stars Jenna Fischer as the down-on-her-luck concession worker who begins to fall for the mysterious human statue (Chris Messina) .

Topher Grace (looking more unappealing than you thought possible) and Harry Crane from "Mad Men" (Rich Sommer) round out the film.

In the newest clip from the movie, which you can watch above, Fischer opens up to Messina, but he's a little closemouthed. (Get it?)

"The Giant Mechanical Man" hits theaters this Friday.

Most of these indie romantic comedies are simply awful exploitation films, lacking strong characters, and worst of all, usually have terrible chemistry between the two leads. To that end, Jenna Fischer and Chris Messina exude a natural chemistry that never seems too forced or awkward, despite both of their characters being kind of awkward losers.

From the moment they meet (in a great scene which was also made better by the use of "Our Bleeding Hearts" by Great Northern) Fischer and Messina's characters play so well off each other that I was able to forgive this movie for having a few common problems with this genre (such as Topher Grace's 'rival' character who is really just a cartoon pardoy). I'll give this a solid 7/10.
