I admit the first quarter of the movie almost turned me off to it because not only did I find out it's a tubi original (all I could think of is cheesy, Hallmark things) but also they played her character like the smart but clueless type...
She is that, but not the "stuck in her ways" trope,
Check 1 for not being the tireless gag we always get. They learned along the way. Two: They didn't make them clash for comedic value. (The Ugly Truth) Things naturally progressed and each party recognized and didn't shy away. Three: The conflict wasn't contrived forcing both parties revert to their older traits and ideals, they recognized the misunderstanding and though tempted to not, braved the storm anyway. Hope this had no spoilers because we all know how these end but I'll say this, it was no early 20's drama piece of ego but maturing, figuring out of things we all resemble coming out of the latter. Extra point for the soundtrack.
Yes, it's a little Chessy but the acting is well done, and I like Camilla Bell in romantic movies. She just needs better scripts and a higher-level production. I am giving a ten because an idiot gave a rating of one and this movie is around a 6 or 7, not a one. It's cute and cheesy but the premise has been done more than once.
I watched the movie and didn't catch much of it because I was so engrossed with Camilla Belle. I could not get enough of her. I could name other actresses who are just as gorgeous, but she is singularly adorable. From all angles. Sometimes from the side with her head canted slightly downwards she could be Anne Hathaway's prettier little sister. At certain moments, a more beautiful mature sibling. At all times, she's a fairy tale princess, living up to her name.
As romance movies go, I'm sure it's formulaic, derivative, and loaded with much of the usual tropes. But I don't care. Because Camilla Belle's in it, it's a perfect 10.
3 Thumbs Up!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Frankly, I have never seen any work of Camila Belle. This was my first time as her other work has been out of my movie/tv preferences. She is an outstanding actress. David Lafontaine I have seen in supporting roles so it was great to see him in a lead role! Both did an outstanding job in this cute and funny story about love and romance. I watched this on Great American Family under a different title. Outstanding choice to bring on GAFamily! So grateful for people like Bill Abbott who are supporting clean, funny and refreshing movies. The supporting cast were excellent as well so kuddos to them. Loved the sets and costumes as well. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
Wonderful script strategically directed by Brian Robert's with no wasted dialogue. Camilla Belle is the mature version of Dakota Johnson with a depth that captures the interest of young and old. We need more of her. This film is far beyond streaming and well worth your time.
