Tommy McIntosh (Richard Dutcher) was raised by adoring women and he learned to himself adore women. He has a neurotic antipathy toward men. He gets into trouble when Rachel (Linda Bon), the one woman to whom he has professed eternal love finds out he's been sleeping around. To win her back he must learn how to be a man.
Background
Having spent five years in its making, Dutcher admitted that the movie was fluff[2][4] and "not very good",[5] but said that it gave him the kind of experience in making films that he had not gotten in film school.[3] He also said that his work on this film led him to change course and make God's Army, effectively beginning modern Mormon cinema.[6] Dutcher also stated
My first film, "Girl Crazy", was not very good ... Neither were the early films of Martin Scorcese [sic], Brian DePalma, etc. So much of filmmaking is craft. Craft has to be learned. We're all, hopefully, getting better with each film. That's the goal.[5]
