Hopeless, Romantic

A guy believes in rom-com movies and after a rejected proposal tries with his female best friend to win her back. The main romance is predictable and the secondary ones are tiresome.

The stars are pleasantly likeable and may be vaguely familiar. She's from Revenge, he is from PLL.

Not a must watch but okay in the background if you are doing chores.

It didn't seem like the actors believed in their parts. Even so Christa B. Allen managed to have some good chemistry with Brandon W. Jones. Allen was a ray of sunshine.

There were three couples relationships throughout the movie, plus the one rival.

The three main male characters were mostly idiots. At least Eddie knew it. The three main females were mostly more sensible and intelligent. Did you notice that at least two of them were complimented by their opposite male for being smart at least as much as being beautiful?

The story was derivative and I think intentionally so given the emphasis on romantic movies. And the ending was predictable. I thought the flow was choppy at times and some of the characters' reactions didn't make sense to me or maybe it's better to say those reactions didn't seem natural in the circumstances. On the plus side, even though Eddie and Krista's story was very quirky, it was also funny and interesting.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. There were some good moments.
