Not bad

Ally is a TV producer/presenter whose show (a reality dessert show) has just been axed. She returns to hom town Leavenworth to regroup and encounters old flame Sean, and it appears that the old flame could be rekindled. What Sean didn't tell Ally is that a) he didn't encounter her by accident and b) he's due to get married in a few days. Ally has an opportunity to act badly in several ways...

Alison Brie, who plays Ally, co-wrote with husband Dave Franco, who directs, and they have made Ally into an interesting character. She definitely has some unlikeable qualities, but not to the extent that you don't want to spend time in her company. In fact, the 3 main characters (Ally, Sean, and fiancee Cassidy) all come a long way by the time the film is over, possibly a little glibly in Sean's case).

One of the things I liked about this likeable if over-sweary mildly romantic drama with some laughs, is the way that it often gently subverted expectations (not that anything shockingly unexpected happens)..

The celebrated streaking scene, if you're interested, will reward googling more than watching the movie.
