Single mom Jessica Summers (Danica McKellar) is an event planner who gets into a clash with rival planner Adam Parker (Paul Greene). Young couple Lucy and Paul don't agree about their wedding plans. His mother hires Jessica to do the planning. He has other ideas and recruits his cousin who turns out to be Adam Parker. She quits but is later convinced to rejoin the team.
Wow! I do not like him. Adam is willfully clueless and over-the-top self-assured, all with a smile. I love Danica McKellar but this is her very standard uptight character. There is a way to sell their combative romance but this is not the way. He is bordering on arrogant. She is too set in her romantic style but it can be excused as her work. My biggest fear is that they get together and she learns a lesson to be a free-thinker. She is skilled enough to pull it off but I wouldn't like it. In the end, he gives up a line about planning things that last a lifetime but the character growth is not a well developed journey. I am uncertain whether it's the writing or Paul Greene's ability to pull off the moves. One thing that I do notice is that Adam always has to have his suggestions. The basic plot is that she's presenting an idea and he has to inject his own idea. That's not romantic. Essentially, he is ignoring her ideas and expects to be her superior. He's more than manxplaining. He's mangnoring. Although, some women find the controlling man very hot. I just don't like this pairing especially his character. As for Lucy and Paul, he's too much of a meathead although he has a few great moments. Those moments really save that couple's chemistry. I like that more. My final question is whether she actually gets paid. He's doing it as a family favor but for her, this is a job.
