If I watch B-grade movies, it's usually as a precursor to falling asleep and it generally works. This one was no exception, probably because it was (IMO) boring as.
The story focuses on two people who meet by chance; there is a twenty-year gap between the young, single woman and an older man and we observe their main interaction over twenty-four hours, with a brief encounter several months later. This kind of scenario (one on one) requires strong characters, an interesting story-line and engagement by the viewer. Unfortunately, it's a mediocre tale about stereotypes: she is finding herself, desperately wants a boyfriend/husband and latches on to the sympathetic, happily-married family man, with predictable results.
While the male lead appears sympathetic and believable in his role, the woman is irritating in her know-all manner and smart-a responses. However, it is no surprise that he gives in to the once-off opportunity, despite the remorse afterwards (the old cliché of "she made me feel alive" comes to mind). These are not exciting characters and their short-lived relationship is dragged out over the duration of the movie, with nothing to relieve the tedium.
Because the characters are dull, we don't really care about the predictable ending (although it's meant to be a twist on the familiar theme) and where they go from there. We're just glad it's over.

I recently checked out Duane Edwards' drama/thriller "Wrong Numbers" on Tubi, and I must say I was quite impressed by the unique approach it took.
Most romantic thrillers follow the same formula (since the beginning of time), however, Wrong Numbers breaks that cycle and chooses its lane and stays in that lane during the film's duration.
As mentioned in the title of the review, it's a little "Harry Met Sally" with a touch of toxicity, which I feel blends perfectly with today's dating/relationship scene, as it's almost encouraged to be in a toxic relationship.
David and Emily both offer stellar performances and are the main reasons to stick around for the thrilling climax.
Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved Wrong Numbers! From the first few minutes, it had this casual, easygoing energy that instantly hooked me. The chemistry between the leads was so natural, and their conversations felt like something straight out of real life. The humor was perfectly timed - not over the top, just genuine and relatable. I loved how the story flowed without ever feeling rushed or forced. It's such a reminder that sometimes the wrong call or wrong turn can lead you exactly where you need to be. By the end, I was smiling like an idiot. Such a fun, heartwarming movie to watch! I would highly recommend it.
From the story line this movie and it's description, did'nt really catch my likes, but as I normally do at night after watching a movie and I still am not tired or sleepy, scroll and watch bits from what's on, I thought I have a look at this, and since it's a drama I marked it favourite for next viewing. I always said that good acting make a good movie. The movie is about 2 people conversating and in my opinion they did a good job. The story is realistic for modern times, and clearly describes the mentality and personalities of different generations. Then I have to see what's out this year, probably I would believe Emily Hall deserve some nomination for best actress.
*I watched Duane Edwards' film Wrong Numbers via the Indie Rights YouTube channel for free (with ads).
The dialogue between Emma and Jack is smart, captivating, witty, and makes you think, but also leaves you feeling as if you've been in the same situation yourself. (brilliant filmmaking)
Wrong Numbers showcases the real impact of casual encounters on individuals' lives and how we allow them to consume not only our hearts but also our entire way of life.
Thankfully, I've never been in this situation before, so it was an exciting "fly on the wall" type of watch; however, I know many people who have encountered this, and believe me, it typically does not end well, and Duane paints that picture perfectly!
