The world of trainers gets a workout in 'Results'

The new film "Results" is the story of a man named Danny (character actor Kevin Corrigan) who falls into some riches. What's he do with all that new-found cash?

For all the wrong reasons, he hires a personal trainer named Trevor, played by Guy Pearce. But that professional relationship gets a workout when they both fall for the another trainer at the gym, Kat (Cobie Smulders from "How I Met Your Mother").

The wattage of the cast is a departure for director Andrew Buljawski, who's known for pioneering the film style mumblecore. Those movies typically feature non-professional actors with a mostly improvised script.

Buljawski joined Take Two with how that style meshes with what's at heart a rom-com.
