Aubrey Dollar and Shane McRae in One Small Hitch (2013)
On a flight home to Chicago for a family wedding, childhood friends Josh and Molly innocently agree to fake a wedding engagement to make Josh's dying father happy.  Things quickly get out of hand with their two boisterous families, and a series of events causes them to pretend to be a couple and start planning a phony wedding.  When the playacting begins to foster real feelings, the two must make some serious decisions - split up and return to their lives in Los Angeles, or make a life as a couple back in Chicago?

    Super cute, humorous and touching

    This was way better than I was expecting. I loved the focus on family, fun situations and a few good laughs and good chemistry between the two stars. 👍🏻

    Sweet small hitch

    Maybe the hitch is not sweet, but the movie itself is. You could argue about the characters a bit I reckon. But I really do like the movie, even though it has clichés (which feed into the sweet notion of it of course) and is predictable as it gets. Still the actors can pull off the obvious and work with it.

    Since this is a romantic comedy and even the poster/cover art is pretty much revealing, we do know where this is heading, but the ride to get there has to be fun. And if you let yourself into it, than this ride can be a lot of fun. While not the best movie you've seen or will see, this is pretty decent indeed

    Surprisingly funny

    This movie was actually really cute! I love the whole premise of them being childhood friends. It was a little corny but surprisingly really funny and sweet! Definitely a feel good movie, the leads and supporting cast were so much like everyday normal people, I liked that it felt real. I'm very happy that I watched it, although the story line was like something I feel has been done, the way that they made everything play out kept it interesting. The lead male was really funny, I liked his comic timing. The lead female was quirky and funny as well! I finished it with a smile on my face! I would definitely recommend this movie, it's a cute chick flick, fun for a girls night in.

    Entertaining and fun

    Really entertaining for the movie it is. The family members are fun and the two leads are enjoyable and have quite a bit of chemistry.

    Great afternoon movie you'll enjoy. The story has enough sweet moments and funny ones, as well, to keep you smiling.

    A lovely little romance

    There is no denying the plot is a straight forward love movie, but isn't that why we watch these kinds of movies. There was nothing really surprising about the storyline, but I thought the lead characters did a great job throughout. I loved watching their chemistry both as friends and then as their love grew for each other and this drove me to watch it a few times in one week without getting bored. I liked some of the comedy moments in the film and felt that the lead characters had got this right. Even though you can see Josh is a ladies man it is nice to see him develop into what every woman wants, a 'knight', and the prop guys did a good job of turning Molly from being a scruffy student type character into an attractive young woman If you want a feel good movie that ticks the romcom box adequately then this could float your boat.

    • Quotes

      Giselle: If you think that you've found someone that you can stand to be with, and she can stand to be with you even when you're both having really shitty days, and neither of you feel like shaving anything. And he looks at you like you're a Victoria Secret model in an old sweatshirt and jeans... Don't give that one up. Because if you think you're gonna find that with everyone you sleep with, you don't... I oughta know.
