Annie owns a coffee shop and loves painting. Matt is a baker and works at the family bakery with his father. They are best friends and have been since they were children. When a ballet company arrives in town and Matt becomes infatuated with the main dancer, the town seizes the opportunity to bring more tourism.
I'm kind of torn about this movie. I love the general concept, I have seen the actors before and enjoyed them, I love the small town vibe and specially, I love the best friends to lovers trope. But... it didn't live up to my expectations. I was expecting best friends slowly realising they love each other, instead I got a man who seemed genuinely in love with a girl who wasn't the lead and who, of course, didn't realise what was in front of him until he was about to lose it, and a woman willing to fly to another country rather than facing her feelings towards a man who has been by her side her whole life.
Which leads me to the following point: while I knew this would end well, there is a funny twist almost at the end, and you have no idea what's happening in the last 15 minutes because the storyline is going so fast. It was chaotic.
That being said, I actually enjoyed the movie. Brant and Eloise had great chemistry. I know I was supposed to be rooting for them to be together (and I was) but the characters seemed to have an amazing friendship, one of the kind that could prove that a man and a woman can be just friends. It would be great to watch them work together with another script.
Seriously tho, I actually liked it.
