Very good

You just can't watch anything any better than one of these family oriented movies. Great for the whole family, no foul language and no nudity. Yes I recommend this one. James Welch Henderson Arkansas. 3/13/2022.

Class- Social Interaction Really Works ****

Mazel Tov to producer Larry Levinson for making this heartwarming film.

Sure it's predictable, but it's wonderful just the same. Why? We view a form of prejudice here which we usually associate with religion or race. No. Here we see prejudice among the social classes.

What a great plot. A wealthy lad about to graduate from Law School is assigned to help an impoverished single mom improve her life while facing a hostile environment.

She can't hold a job since her child is chronically ill with asthma. In addition, we see how employees, landlords and even the Medicaid system act among the downtrodden in society.

Our lad is hostile at the beginning to our young lady. His father, played to the hilt by Eric Roberts, is a big-shot attorney who has already carved out the ideal life for his son in the corporation after law school and the passing of the Bar Exam. Mom is an alcoholic because she basically would like to declare her independence and is sympathetic as our young guy becomes infatuated with our young lady.

The film is a gem since it shows you that power and money prevail in this society with dealing with a landlord and others. Of course, it helps to have friends up there to get a nursing scholarship for our lassie. However, the real success is that the two join forces in the end. In love and with so much to give to society, this is a remarkable film in that we see that the barriers to social classes can be broken. Only problem: Eric Roberts doesn't come down from his tower to acquiesce. Still, that's true to life.

Very highly recommended.

Nice predictable story with some minor defeciencies

Points for a different approach to the story even though once we get into it, things are a little predictable.

Most of the acting was good. Justin Bruening was just about right in his role as Whitt. His character is supposed to be reserved and controlled and yet with hints of passion. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe plays Kylie as pretty much the same kind of characters, even at the end when there should be more excitement. I would have liked to see some more pronounced positive emotions. Even so there is a quiet chemistry there. Eric Roberts, as Whitt's father is the cliché domineering and slightly neglectful father. I thought this was too one dimensional.

There are two far larger issues than any romance in this movie. One is the whole inconsistency of healthcare for Medicaid and other lower income patients and there is another related social issue that comes up later. Any resolution to these is personal and not general.

The second is the role of God and faith. The preachy factor is low to mid-range. It is a nice sub-plot.

Later in the movie, we start get a flavor similar to one of the "royal" stories. Whitt is almost a kind of American royalty. The movie title is a double entrendre without any risque innuendo. There are definite class differences between Whitt and Kylie which are just as prominent as almost any of the usual "royal" movies.

There's more than one conflict issue. One is obviously predictable and the other is a bit of a surprise even though it is foreshadowed. They work together to bring about the resolution which is predictable yet it does provide an interesting and reasonable climax. The different subplots and themes are woven together pretty well.

Side observations: There is a variation on one of my favorite jokes - what is a sweater? What your mom gives you when she is cold.

The story suffers from what a lot of these stories do - the character with all of her personality quirks (flaws?) could not have gotten to where she is at the beginning with all of those personality traits. It's like her existence began at the beginning of the movie despite efforts to provide a touching backstory. This is a proud and intelligent woman. These things don't come without any of the confidence her head hunter claims she needs. The lack of confidence would make sense. This woman should be a beaten down person and ready to compromise far more than she is. She's intelligent, so she has to know that she needs to do certain things to survive. A perfect example of this lack is her quitting the job Whitt's friend's dad got her just because that's the way she got it. And if the kid's dad left before he was born, how did Kylie and Shane survive the amount of time reflected by Shane's age? Her attitude is deep seated and her employment issues have to go back a long way. The movie picks up like this problem has only just now come to a head.

The next mistake in the story is that even a high school kid would have known the Whitt should have started out with some coaching for things like interviews. Admittedly, Whitt didn't realize it yet, but she also needed some coaching on employee/boss relationships. Again, the woman is intelligent and she is desperate for her kid. These two things mean her attitude may be understandable, but not her predilection for showing it so brazenly.

But this is a rom/dram. Often reality has nothing to do with this genre. So I will have to disregard all that. All that stuff was just a vehicle to give the two principles time together. Once they get past the obligatory antagonism, they have a nice relationship. Another common deficiency in this type of movie is how quickly that antagonism passes. This movie was especially short in explanation as to why this happened.
