This movie is more complex than I anticipated with a few twists thrown in. The lead is surprisingly goofy and everybody is flawed but usually for understandable reasons, which makes them less stereotypical than initially appears. It almost feels like a pilot for a longer run and I would watch more. There's not a massive age range of characters, but youngsters could watch too and anyone feeling a bit unconfident in life would probably feel better about things after.

Good movie
What a pleasant surprise
Now this is superior schmaltz - escapist and fluffy and with the mandatory HEA but some lovely values and convincing connection between the lead actors. A well written and well-rounded script. I could envisage this as the pilot of a tv series and I was left wanting more of these characters.
I couldn't take my eyes and ears of this movie which was a bad thing as I had it in the background for routine paperwork and I was not supposed to be distracted ha ha ha. I had had to switch it off until I met my deadline and put on something more mundane.
I really liked the wit and edge to the writing.
Delightful modern day romance! 8 out of 10 stars.
Caught this little gem on the tele this past Sunday afternoon and enjoyed every minute of it. The story centres around aspiring editor Abby Morel and her exploits in trying to find her boss the perfect match, only to fall in love with the same man. Natalie Dreyfuss gives an absolutely charming and endearing performance and is surrounded by a strong supporting cast, including the handsome Andrew Dunbar. Ultimately, it is a made for tv movie, so the twists and turns are somewhat predictable, but the characters and witticisms had me smiling from beginning to end.
