Darren Brooks makes this film. He has the innocent humour of a young Jerry Lewis, and his timing is perfect. This young man should be looked at by the major studios and put forward for more prominent roles.
The film itself is charming and one you could lose yourself in for a couple of hours.

Plot summary
Jennifer and Kevin have been inseparable since becoming best friends at age six. So when Jennifer graduates from college and begins building a career in charity, she thinks it's only right to let drop-out Kevin live in her newly purchased house until he gets back on his feet. Seven years later, Jennifer is continuing up the career ladder while Kevin is still golf caddying and waiting for his big break. Jennifer is happy to let Kevin march to his own beat, but her new boyfriend, arrogant corporate manipulator Bryce, wants her to kick Kevin to the curb. Oblivious to his cheating ways, Jennifer is ecstatic when Bryce asks her to marry him after only six months of dating, secretly using her angelic reputation to gain favor with his boss Mrs. Von Hoffman. Kevin catches Bryce cheating and is determined to spare Jennifer an unhappily ever after experience. With a little help from his brother who is in law school, and support from his meddling neighbor Mr. Henderson, Kevin finds out he is legally married to Jennifer in a common law marriage after living together for exactly seven years. Now it's up to Kevin to prove he is Jennifer's equal, forever.

Bliss Upon Bliss- 7 Year Hitch ****
A wonderful movie that shows a keen friendship from childhood carrying on to adulthood. Our female heroine allows our young man to movie in with here in the room-mate capacity, Trouble is that it's now seven years later and our guy is still there.
The fun begins when the girl becomes engaged to a cheater,a guy pushed into this marriage by his boss who likes to see company partners married.
We sure learn about common law marriages in this movie, which is a story of maturity, responsibility and stepping up to the plate when you have to.
We also discover what true love is and this film makes it seem so good-and it really is!
Cute
I never heard of a premise like this before, so I have to give it credit for that. On the other hand the ending was predictable. Then there's the famous "what's my favorite color" line.
Darin Brooks was exactly what he was supposed to be which included some great funny moments. He and Natalie Hall had great chemistry. Jen and Kevin's story was super sweet. Jen was a different person with Bryce and not very likeable. Not just sad, but weak. I think that's great story telling because that's what guys like that do to nice ladies.
Points off for makeup especially on Natalie Hall. There were a couple of scenes where I thought she was just about the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, but in most scenes, especially at the beginning, her facial tone was way off. It looked like she used a cheap spray on tan and then added too much red on her cheeks. It was very distracting.
