8/10
Very good movie
2 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The cast Danica McKellar as Molly and Kavan Smith as Nick were both superb in this movie and had great chemistry. I almost always enjoy movies with either one in the cast, this was such a nice bonus seeing how they worked together.

Christopher Russell was wonderful as usual, I have seen him in several movies and he is consitantly very good. Tammy Gillis was a new face for me but she was delightful and portrayed her character perfectly.

The Plot We learn that Molly and Nick had past of sorts because their BFF's Tammy GIllis as Amy and Christopher Russell as James (aka the bride and groom) had locked them out on a balcony in an attempt to get them together. They did not click. Curses foiled again.

Now Nick has finally attained his dream, he has opened his own fancy restaurant. Enter Molly, Amy and James. Nick serves them an appetizer of smoked quail egg marnated in an apple vinegar foam on top of something. Which Molly could hardly choke down. The entree was never described but Molly just stirs it around on her plate, it's not clear if Molly even tried the entree, Nick can tell she does not like anything he served them. She considers all his food "foam food".

Amy gets news that her father has lost all his money to a con artist with a ponzi scheme and can no longer pay for the wedding. There's is a cute scene where the foursome go to Amy's apartment to discuss how to the save the wedding and Nick catches Molly sneaking food from the refrigerator, he says "So you didn't like anything I served you?" Next this same the foursome head for the Berkshires where Nick's father lives in an Inn that he closed when his wfe died. There is another cute scene where Molly educates Nick on the benefits of quality ranch dressing, he tells her she should write food reviews for the Times and she hands him a ranch dressing dipped french fry, he tastes it and dips the french fry in her dressing again. He grudgingly admits it s good. There is a another great moment when they make eye contact over the french fry.

They barely arrive in the Berkshires when Amy and James are called back to New York for an emergency meeting with Amy's parents and their lawyers. Molly and Nick end up planning their best friend's wedding. As they work together they discover that maybe their differences are what makes their relationship great. Some great scenes where they discover what it really is to love someone.

I did wish that when Amy and James called off the wedding, that Nick and Molly would step up and get married right then and there. But in order to obtain an 84 minute running time the writers had to drag it out.

My advice - watch this movie, it's delightful.
