Analeigh Tipton, Miles Tiller and a crackling script help elevate this 90 minuter. Analeigh Tipton is just delicious to look at and Miles Miller comes across as a thoroughly nice chap.
There's nothing original or new to see here and some of the plot turns are a bit contrived. But nonetheless it works.
The movie doesn't have the gravitas of Notting Hill, or the 'touchy feely' dreck of Music and Lyrics. It's a small town date movie for small town folk.
The peripheral characters supporting the two leads are almost invisible and are barely worth mentioning.... apart from Samuel Ray Gates who plays a cop. (Why isn't this guy more famous?)
It doesn't get deep or heavy, there's not too much gloom when things go wrong... it's a fluffy teen flick that this 55 year old male enjoyed.
If you get drained by the overly emotional garbage that usually accompanies American 'romcom' type movies, this one will surprise you in a good way.
