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.

First of all, let me just start up by saying I don't understand all of the one star reviews. This is a very well done indie that deserves quite a bit of praise. First off, the film looks great, well shot and composed. Both actors were entirely natural and real - something that is often missing from movies like this. The writing is strong, with an emphasis on conversation between disparate male/female dynamics. As the action progressed and took a genuine turn, l found myself talking to the TV, which I don't do often, and to me, that's good writing...I was fully engaged. Give this film a look; it showcases a lot of talent and is a cut above usual small-budget films.
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.
Wrong numbers is an independent drama by filmmaker Duane Edwards making his directorial feature film debut.
Set in Chicago The film is broken into two halves
The first half after a bad blind date in a restaurant perfect strangers Emma (Emily Hall) and Jack (David Kelsey) strike up a conversation and briefly share a connection.
The second half is set ten months later where Emma coincidentally runs into Jack at the cafe she works at.
However it becomes very clear their second meeting is no coincidence, and Jack has made some very drastic changes to his life since they last spoke.
Viewers looking for a fast paced film with action and neat resolutions in the end will be sorely disappointed but for the rest of us the nuances of the story was definitely worth investing my time and energy into.
The dialogue was very good and the characters felt relatable- I've met a lot of people like Jack and Emma well meaning individuals trying to navigate this messy world and being stuck in relationships routines and situations they don't want to be in but just can't break away from.
Overall Wrong Numbers was a very put together film about longing unrequited love and reflecting on the chances you didn't take and where it couldve lead.
I look forward to seeing what director Duane Edwards does next.
