This starts out as a story of what might have been if you made every right choice, took every right chance in your life. And if you could grab that opportunity but you had to bend the rules a wee bit... would you succeed?

It's warm and fuzzy and yes, a totally bonkers plot.

But if you look past that it's also a story about friendship, courage and never giving up on your dreams... or yourself.

Roberts is so lovable in this, you can't help but root for her. Her redemption arc is obviously as far fetched as they come but it's still so entertaining. Hopper and Union perform really well as the strait laced duo against Roberts more free living character.

I liked it for what it was. Goofy, implausible, escapism.

The chemistry between the two leads is off the charts. While, yes a lot of the plot is predictable it's still a fun watch and Hale and Stowell being so electric together really keeps you engaged. Gives modern day Darcy and Elizabeth vibes, including rampant misunderstandings, which is par for the course in rom com land.

The supporting cast do their job but it's really a film with two characters front and centre from start to finish and they both do their jobs well. I like Lucy Hale and this was a more mature outing for her, which she took on with confidence and it paid off. Definitely worth a watch (or two).
