Learning to Love Again

Very immature behaviour throughout from an adult young woman

Jane (Ann Pirvu) is devastated after losing both her boyfriend and her job. She is headed back home for Thanksgiving. Despite her better judgement, she picks up a stranded motorist on the side of the road.

Ann Pirvu is doing her quirky single gal who doesn't need a man but actually needs a man. She is doing her adorable best. There are some questionable aspects of the story. It's suppose to be cute but it's very questionable. I wouldn't suggest picking up a stranger on the side of the road. Also the sibling rivalry leans too far into real hate. It needs to be fun, not angry. The brother is a real problem. I'm willing to buy Pirvu's cuteness acting and accept the standard rom-com tropes despite the shortcomings.

Shockingly bad ...time I can never even claw back. Seen better acting in school plays. Chris (I think that was the lead male character) & the dad were the only ones who actually 'acted' and as for the brother...oh brother! Just, no...noone would behave like that, it was simply embarrassing. Diabolical. Bad script, no story line and just toe curlingly bad all round. And still I need to go on to fill the 600 word criteria... please do not wast your valuable time on this, dreadful, painful, badly acted, non story mashed up from all other bad made for tv movie scripts. I can't even believe I managed to limp through it myself, so you don't have to.

I've seen some of the reviews, and mostly they're complaints about the main character. I have to disagree. I believe the writers made her more juvenile on purpose, to show her growth through the movie. I found the two main characters very believable and real. Though this story line has been done several times previously, I felt these two were more real than most, especially the male character of Chris. The humor between them, and honesty, and normal, non hallmark style, drama infused dialogue is a refreshing watch.

While its not perfect, its definitely one of the better ones out there. Finally.

The acting is horrible! And the plot has already been done countless times. Is this simply a chance to give some unknown actors something to work on? They can't keep the plot straight...the brother comes in on his sister and Chris and says, it's true you two are seeing each other then in the next scene he is saying they must be fake dating....does the brother believe they are dating or not??
