Runtime: 1 hr 59 mins

What It Is: After failing to get into a prestigious music school Finley Sinclair (Reid) feels like a semester abroad might be just the thing to get her mind right. She decides to stay in a bed and breakfast that her now deceased brother had previously stayed at in a lovely town in Ireland. On the plane there she runs into Beckett Rush (Goodacre) a famous actor she’s seated next to. When the two continue to run into each other…perhaps sparks will fly?

What We Think: This is as cookie-cutter cliche as it gets. Like I love that personally but as an overall audience experience the film is certainly lacking. It isn’t particularly well acted. Much of the comedy are jokes you see coming a mile away. Likewise before you even start the film you know exactly where it’s going. So the lack of any semblance of surprise really lets the audience down. Rose Reid is not exactly great here and her history as an actress in Hallmark films is quite evident. She and Goodacre have chemistry but all of it comes off as too cheesy and too cheap to feel real.

Our Grade: D+, There are so many better romantic options that have come out in the last few years. Pick any of those over this piece here. It’s not all bad it’s mostly just far too predictable and painstakingly boring. Both the acting, which is wooden and the script, which is poor hurt what came off as nice chemistry and an interesting…If not well-treaded concept for a romantic-comedy. Either way the films isn’t really worth your time. Unless you put it on as background noise while cleaning your house. In which case you could just listen to music.
