Committed is a 2000 comedy film directed and written by Lisa Krueger and stars Heather Graham, Casey Affleck, and Luke Wilson.

She operates a nightclub and is generally content whereas he's unhappy that he is assigned to photograph food rather than news for his newspaper.

Arriving home to hear Carl's depressed answering message, Jolene calls her brother Jay, who lets her stay over.

In the morning she talks about her strong belief in marriage, a perspective not shared with his lesbian roommates.

Judging by the picture and smudged postmark, Joline heads to Texas and finally tracks Carl down.

Judging by his reaction, Joline asks him to forget what she said as she fears she may have put Carl's job at risk.

Committed premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and won the award for Best Cinematography.
