I went into this expecting very little. I thought Rachel Boston would overact and play another overly cutesy quirky character and Wes Brown would underact and be wooden and awkward. I was pleasantly surprised because I actually really loved their chemistry and their characters. They seemed natural together and they balanced each other and played off each other very well. Wes Brown was fun and confident and just seemed comfortable in the role. Sexy even, which although he is a very good looking man, I just didn't find him attractive before this movie. He has never fully won me over in the past. I've found him a bit dull and he has looked a bit uncomfortable in past films, like he didn't want to be there. Which is why I was surprised at how great and appealing he was in this movie. He needs more characters like this where he can show a confident, playful and witty side that comes off much more natural. Rachel Boston played a mature woman finally and came off as appealing, coy and flirty instead of her usual immature-and-trying-hard-to-seem-young-and-adorable choice of acting. Don't get me wrong, I have watched her movies for many years and have liked most of them, but after so long playing the same personality in character after character, it becomes less cute and at some point you've got to grow. This movie gave her a chance to shine and I really enjoyed her in this and look forward to future movies. In case my review didn't express it well, I loved this movie so much that I will watch it again before winter is over.
