This vertical features a young, bland female actor in the lead using the long lost heiress as the so overdone trope. She rediscovers her family including 3 adopted brothers. Only one of them, Jordan Frank, brings any good looks. But clearly this set-up foregoes any actual romance. The drama is the usual antagonistic disbeliever trope, offering nothing new nor interesting. The only partial saving grace for this uninspired film is Abigail Stanton as one of the principal antagonists....she is a cut above the usual acting ability in verticals and she is nice to look at.
Despite the fact this film features Noah Fearnley and Molly Anderson for the lead roles, it is the most stupid screenplay ever conceived. I have to wonder why these two prominent vertical actors agreed to participate in such a farcical production? What this film actually is is a parade of clownish supporting actors filling up 98% of this film delivering the most idiotic lines imaginable and continuously acting like low IQ people in the face of common sense.
In a nutshell, we have something like 20 actors portraying company employees and related family members all constantly denying and insulting the CEO of the principal business in the town because they can't believe he is who he says he is. As the script itself eventually reveals, the company has a website and what company website does not have a photo of the CEO? The audience has to endure 90 minutes of not one moron in the cast looking up the photo yet constantly accusing him of being a phony. It was actually infuriating to have to watch such dumbness continually portrayed.

First of all, there is an exact replica of this storyline in a vertical with Jarred Harper titled "The Queen strikes back with 3 tycoons". I reviewed and rated that film a "1" because it provided no story and 98% of the content is a ridiculous stream of antagonism against the 'lead' female. Be assured, this is the same script. I understand vertical writers have a fascination with grade school antagonism, somehow thinking this meets the definition of 'dramatic writing'. However, it simply showcases their inability to write the least bit creatively.
