I found this article on Dirty Love playing at Sundance Film Festival. No announcement has been made by the BVHJ, but I think it's the same film since it has Jenny McCarthy in it. Has anyone else heard anything?
Lights go up on Sundance's 2nd half
Sundance unveils lineup of non-competition films
By Sean P. Means

The 2005 Sundance Film Festival will begin with "Happy Endings," an ensemble comedy about different kinds of family.
Organizers on Tuesday unveiled the second half of the Sundance slate, including 24 premiere films, the American Spectrum sidebar, Park City at Midnight and Frontier programs, and a couple of independent-film classics. The festival considered 2,613 feature-film submissions - up from 2,485 for the 2004 festival - to pick 120 for the event Jan. 20-30 in Park City, and at venues in Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance Village.
Oscar winners Adrien Brody, Kevin Costner, Daniel Day-Lewis, Holly Hunter, Sissy Spacek and Marisa Tomei will appear in Sundance premieres. So will such stars as Kevin Bacon, Pierce Brosnan, Sandra Bullock, Glenn Close, Taye Diggs, Robert Downey Jr., Ralph Fiennes and Keira Knightley.
The festival will kick off Jan. 20 at Park City's Eccles Center with "Happy Endings," written and directed by Don Roos, whose "The Opposite of Sex" debuted at Sundance in 1998.
The movie centers on three families: A woman (Laura Dern) who may meet the son she gave up for adoption; a gay couple who donated sperm to their lesbian friends (one played by Laura Dern); and a free spirit (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who moves in with a single guy (Jason Ritter) trying to prove to his rich father (Tom Arnold) that he's straight.
Opening the festival in Salt Lake City on Jan. 21 is "On a Clear Day," a British film (entered in the World Cinema competition) starring Peter Mullan as a man who decides to change his life by swimming the English Channel.
The Centerpiece Premiere, midfestival in Park City, is "Lackawanna Blues," an ensemble drama starring Jimmy Smits, S. Epatha Merkerson ("Law & Order") and Macy Gray, and directed by Broadway veteran George C. Wolfe.
Directors with Sundance credentials will return on the Premiere slate. Rebecca Miller ("Personal Velocity") debuts "The Ballad of Jack and Rose," starring Day-Lewis, her husband. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye," "Party Monster") bring "Inside Deep Throat," a documentary about the legacy of the legendary porno film. Hal Hartley ("Simple Men") returns with the comic drama "The Girl from Monday," and bad boy Gregg Araki ("The Doom Generation") is back with "Mysterious Skin."
Oddities abound in the Park City at Midnight program, including Crispin Glover's aptly-titled "What Is It?", the movie version of the Comedy Central cult hit "Strangers With Candy,"
and the screenwriting debut of actress Jenny McCarthy, the comedy "Dirty Love."
Two classics will play in the Sundance Collection program: Barbara Kopple's 1976 documentary "Harlan County U.S.A.," and Jim Jarmusch's 1984 black-and-white debut, "Stranger Than Paradise."
