This film is all about Eve!
Evelyn (Eve) Wright is an ambitious party planner with the large firm of Elizabeth Cole Events in Manhattan. While Ms. Cole is the boss from hell, Eve has maintained a more down-to-earth and easy-going manner. But her ambitious side will be tested in a tug-of-war with her more humble persona, who wanted to be a painter.
The film adopts a creative structure of "parallel lives," as Eve is racing to the airport for the job that could make or break her career in Los Angeles. She is running late to the airport, and at the last second, the door to the sheep shoot closes. Eve talks her way onto the plane, heading off to her successful venture.
But the film takes the same scene from a different perspective when Eve is denied a place on the plane. She misses her flight, loses her job, and discovers that her boyfriend is cheating on her. This story is all about the resourceful Eve, who longs to return to her roots as an artist.
Two parallel narratives alternate through the film, one in New York and one in L.A. In the latter story, Eve falls in love with the CEO of the Gobble social media conglomerate. In New York, Eve works at the bar with her best friend Lila, then lands an art exhibit at the small Jones Gallery.
While the filmmakers could have brought the parallel lives together in a more complete way at the end, the film was nonetheless charming and heartwarming. The actress playing the two "Eve's" was excellent in capturing the two sides of her soul warring against each other. The scoring of the film added to the mood, especially the jazzy piano numbers. Miss Diane Degara added some beautiful vocals.
The film was successful in developing the theme of "pure destiny" and how our lives may turn on a dime, based on the chance circumstances of the moment. While it looked like a disaster when the second Eve missed her flight, she landed on her feet, and the ultimate outcome was nothing less than pure destiny.
