I knew Rebecca Blumhagen - who plays the main character Claire - from Get Happy, which was quite a deep yet still somewhat lighthearted movie.
So I considered Other Plans as well. I was astonished about the low rating and lack of reviews. This intrigued me a bit. I was right. This is another indie that went under the radar of mainstream audiences.
Unlike Get Happy this is more lighthearted than deep even though Claire, the protagonist, has some childhood trauma of poverty to overcome. Thus she focuses on her career and "other plans" to prevent that from happening again while neglecting her private life.
Meanwhile an unpublished writer - who is working as a janitor in the building the publishing house she works for resides in - falls in love with her. Due to his low status he feels unworthy to approach her though.
Yet one day due to a mishap and a case of mistaken identity (and a little magic) he ends up doing that despite his fears.
First off, this love story is a bit of a fairy tale. It uses some romcom stereotypes and has some logic holes and inconsistencies yet overall it will brighten your day. Rebecca Blumhagen offers a constant cute overload for the eyes and even in her annoyance stays always gorgeous.
The male lead, Nathan, the undercover writer, plays his part even more convincingly as he has to change repeatedly from dejected janitor to aspiring writer and embodies both quite aptly.
Of course we expect the final outcome yet it's still an enjoyable watch to find out how Claire and Nathan will navigate the pitfalls of identity theft, toxic coworkers, misunderstandings etc.
With the help of some likable and truly supporting characters (Claire's friends, Nathan's brother, a homeless/magician) there are glimmers of hope we can relate to.
An overall likeable cast, positive message, and pleasurable love and personal development story that is uplifting without being too cheesy. Some of it is also a bit too obvious or spelled out. Clearly a movie for the heart and not the brain. Exactly what I needed today to wind down.
