Where are the sweet romantic comedies gone? You know, the ones that make you feel warm and nostalgic. Or the ones that make you fantasize about yourself being the lead actress as you walk out of the theater. Then you snap back to reality an hour later.
This movie had no charm. There was no chemistry between Keith Powers and Gabrielle Union. None, whatsoever. Just because the actors are attractive, it doesnt mean they have chemistry.
I did not believe Jenna and Eric fell in love, it was said but not shown on screen.
The movie did not flow. The editing was choppy.
It was so below average, it just made no sense casting Gabrielle Union in it.
Cons:
Gabrielle Union's hair and wardrobe where terrible and made her look older. She needed a longer wig or braids. She worked in the fashion industry, where are the cute outfits?
The meet cute moment at the beginning was awful. What was that? They spoke for 2 minutes and nothing was said that would make these two strangers just start kissing. There was no electricity between them.
(The last thing I watched were the actors had a sweet meet cute moment and chemistry, was the 1st episode of TV show 'Queen Charlotte.')
This movie needed some sweet banter, or maybe have these 2 characters bump into each other a couple times and build the chemistry.
What was going on with Eric's friend and Lala Anthony's character. Was this some subtle lesbian attraction. Why?
Why didn't Jenna have a proper date with that older man? Why did it turn into a get together/party with her friends and Eric and his friends? My gosh, be an adult and go out on a proper date.
Why did 40 something year old Jenna go up to her bosses penthouse to meet Eric, knowing Eric is this woman's son. Her boss could come home at any time. It's like the screenwriter thought they were writing about a teenager or 21-year-old character. It was too predictable.
Why could this not have been a sweet romance, seeing the actors wake up after a steamy night together. No we had to see the male lead going down on the female. Even worse, one scene was in his mothers apartment on the couch. Why?
I loved Gina Torres (Darcy) in TV series 'Suits'. This writer and director missed the opportunity to make her character more like Meryl Streep in 'Devil Wears Prada'.
Pros:
Keith Powers acting has improved. Now Hollywood go and cast him in a cute well written rom com with someone his age.
The movie had some nice songs in it.
