Delightful pairing and excellent supporting cast make for an enjoyable evening in. I'm surprised we haven't had more movies from director, John Burgess.
Tried and true story of a fake engagement to make a parent happy, with the fake fiancées eventually realizing that perhaps they really do love each other. Nothing groundbreaking here, but the journey is so much fun. The two main actors Shane McRae and Aubrey Dollar are terrific and have great chemistry. The supporting cast is also extremely well cast, especially the actresses playing Molly's mother and sister-in-law.
The movie besides being well cast, is also well-directed and edited. It also has a very good score, with well-chosen songs to illustrate the characters' journeys. For those interested in that sort of thing, there is no nudity in the movie. There is a lot of sexual talk and innuendo, but there are no sex scenes in the movie. Probably not really suitable for someone under 14.
My main quibbles with the movie are 1) Don't Josh and Molly have jobs? How can they afford to just decide to stay in Chicago for a month? 2) In spite of his friends with benefits relationship, Josh doesn't really seem to be quite the lothario that he is made out to be. However, even with these slightly annoying things, this is a cute movie with charm to spare.
I hope you'll take a chance and watch this little gem. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 5/17/2021.
