    Awesome Movie 💜💜

    Paul J Alessi and Ross McCall have great on screen chemistry. The movie touches on so many things in regards to how we all perceive relationships. The differences between how men and women think and react to each aspect of every day life. Everyone in this movie are fantastic. You really can relate to everyone's characters. Funny and witty ..not your everyday romantic comedy, its fresh and i believe definitely more realistic. Watch with your significant other or with a group.. Youll absolutely love this film

    Absolutely hysterical and down to earth at the same time.

    Love the plot. Very down to earth, very realistic and with a wonderfully hilarious story. The cast is superb and the chemistry between Paul J. Alessi and Aimee Barsky and Ross McCall make this movie even better. Definitely a must watch film.

    Realistic-esque rom-com

    Having no knowledge of this film and not having watched any trailers prior to watching, expectations were very little. As a result, the film was better than expected. It has an independent feel and a very realistic type of film where situations the characters were put in, are familiar and occur in real life. The acting was passable for and better than expected. Overall a solid lesser known film.

    Loved it

    I could see myself in many of those scenes and I could feel the actors were really well-connected. Good moral lessons to get out of this as well and it shows how complicated life can be.
