Gray Matters” is a romantic comedy about a brother, a sister and the girl of their dreams.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
– Dr. Seuss

This above all: To thine own self be true.
– William Shakespeare

They finish each other’s sentences, dance like Fred and Ginger, and they’re all hearing wedding bells. All? No ménage-a-tois here — just siblings Gray and Sam (Heather Graham and Tom Cavanagh), thirty-something New Yorkers so compatible they share a downtown loft, love to watch the same classic movies, jog together, look out for each other and, to their biggest surprise, wind up falling in love with the same woman.

But while Charlie (Bridget Moynahan) adores her sister-in-law to be, and Sam has finally found the perfect mate, Gray has feelings for Charlie that are turning her life inside out. And why not? Charlie’s a successful zoologist with a wit as sharp as her looks. She’s the girl next door that any guy would fall for, so why is Gray so preoccupied with her? Whatever the reason, she’s certainly not going to tell anybody about it.

The darling of her advertising firm, Gray has to keep her focus on her clients – especially the fussy, gorgeous, really important, sexy, lose-your-job-if-you’re-not-attentive-to clients like Julia Bartlett (L Word glamour girl Rachel Shelley). Yes, Gray’s got to keep her mind on her work and deal with this emerging sexuality stuff later. After all, as her therapist Dr. Sydney (Oscar winner Sissy Spacek) is quick to point out, Gray might be just misguided or simply suffering from a case of sibling rivalry gone awry.

Still, Gray needs to talk to someone about it. Surely her friend and co-worker Carrie (Saturday Night Live Emmy nominee Molly Shannon) would understand . . . but then the whole office would find out. She could certainly go to her brother, but he’s kind of busy these days. Not only is he a vascular surgical intern at Mount Sinai, but he’s also getting married and dealing with matters of his own heart. No, best not to talk to the groom if you’re dying to kiss his bride . . . again!

But Gray’s simply got to confide in someone – or maybe denial would just be easier. Yes, that’s the answer. She’ll just head straight for the next guy she finds remotely attractive. She’ll make herself available to men like never before, and sooner or later that old familiar sexuality of hers is bound to kick in. Right?

Wrong – even the friendly cabdriver Gordy (Tony award winner Alan Cumming), who has been shuttling Gray to and from her mismatches, can see she needs to start looking for love in different places. In fact, Gray’s predicament is so black and white to Gordy, he’s willing to be her wingman and put on a dress to drag her where she needs to go.

Set in the city of New York, itself a character, “Gray Matters” features a wonderful supporting cast and a special performance of “I Will Survive” by Grammy-winner Gloria Gaynor. A charming romance, a tender comedy, the story of Gray’s quest to find out who she really is gives a whole new meaning to love . . . and destiny – “Gray Matters”
