This is pretty good low budget autumn comedy Reel One Entertainment TV movie. Without some issues it would be easily above average. Technically is mostly fine. Music score was actually good. The main issue is location. It was shot in Kentucky, but I can't recognize where exactly, however they overused stock footage to fill up time. What I recognized is they showed stock footage of the famous Melrose Gate which is in LA. What? You can see it even in the trailer. Also part of the movie takes place in the Hamptons because it was relatively close to the city where our leads live. It's just one big mess if you start to think about it.
I have no issue with the cast. They did their job well. Both Scout Taylor-Compton and Mark Famiglietti are first time leads, and I never watched STC before. Directing was passable.
What I mostly liked about this movie is writing. This is comedy with clearly some parody involved. Parody elements were really well blended into movie, it's hard to see it properly done. If you expect romance, skip it, it's really minimal no matter what is written in synopsis or you see in trailer. And yes, it's mostly predictable but being it is not bad per se, it's bad if execution is, and here is actually mostly very well done.
And speaking about trailer, don't watch it as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.
