I really like older movies like 'You've Got Mail' and such, especially in that genre. They had a great balance of humor and romance. City of Second Chances reminded me of those old movies. The premise is very down to earth, about a guy who's a Uber driver type that can't seem to make ends meet. One night he meets a girl in a halloween costume who takes him on a cool adventure through the Vegas strip. I won't spoil what happens, but it builds nicely throughout the pace of the story.
It had me really laughing at times and connecting with both leads. The director seems also to have been making this a sort of love letter to Vegas as a city, and that was something I haven't seen in a while in indie film. It doesn't try to preach at you or send you a message, it's just classic entertainment, something I really enjoyed escaping to. My wife really enjoyed it as well, said the ending made her tear up, so I thought that was pretty special.
