Good if it's late and you need something soporific

This movie is yet another in the well-populated category of "2 people thrown together at the beginning out of necessity, fear of ridicule or happenstance who fall in love by the end." That's quite okay. There's nothing wrong with yet another one. But their sheer number means that any such movie must live up to the standards of the genre or it's a failure. We know the starting point and the destination going in; what we're looking for is an entertaining journey. Well, not here, folks. The script is lackluster, the directing is flat-footed and clumsy, and the acting is forgettable. Kylee Bush is attractive and with better direction might do a better job; but her acting talents fail to carry this film. And Stafford Perry is either appallingly miscast or seriously badly directed. Worst of all, the two leads have absolutely no on-screen chemistry. (Think Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal. This isn't that movie.)

This one is strictly desperation time for insomniacs. That's a disappointment for all of us who are softies at heart.

Hallmarkish

Typical Hallmark style movie but with better acting. A plot that has been used and abused far two many times. Girl needs to get married because of grandmother's mandate. No boyfriend, so she hires one. You can guess what the outcome will be.

Unfortunately, scriptwriters lack creativity and originality and resort to the also used and abused misunderstanding. Girl hears part of a conversation and assumes things, runs away and cries. Why would she ask for an explanation? Well, because that is the only conflict the writer could come up with. Of course, all's well that ends well.

The male lead was not very plausible at the beginning of the movie. The character became more solid towards the middle of the movie. The plump, long haired coworker was surreal and obnoxious.

Again, the acting, with a few exceptions, exceeds the average Hallmark movie.
