Not Rated
Starring Haylie Duff, Chris Soldevilla
Written & Directed by Matt Berman
The Story:
Mitch (Soldevilla) and Emily (Duff) were best friends in college. On graduation day, Emily makes an off-the-cuff remark that if the two aren't married in the next decade, they should totally get together. Fast forward 10 years, and Mitch isn't married, and neither is Emily. So Mitch embarks on a journey to get "the one that got away". Of course when he arrives and learns that Emily is getting married in 10 days and insists that Mitch stays for the wedding...
Well, he's got 10 days to learn to live with it, or to win Emily back... for the first time.
I'm assuming this was either a direct to DVD or television movie, because writing up that plot synopsis for the film totally screams either of those two items.
Nothing new that you haven't seen before in any romantic comedy like this.
The cast is fine and there are some genuinely amusing antics that take place in the movie.
Overall though, not a horrible way to spend 90 minutes with your date night or family night at the movies.
Just not one that is screaming THE MUST SEE ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THE YEAR!!
Available to stream on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No purchase, but totally harmless to play as a background movie in the future.
