A romance writer with writer's block is a well worn trope. A professionally minded editor working with someone a bit lazy or playboy has been done also. And I have a hard time getting to like said playboy as a lead.

Even so, I was looking forward to seeing where this would go.

Unfortunately, sticking the second couple's story in takes screen time away from the main relationship. Throw in the time spent on the fiancé and setting up that whole story line and it bleeds even more time away. It feels like this was done because the main couple's story wasn't very deep, and it wasn't. If the heroine is going to make a bold decision then I want to see why. Telling why was too squeezed in.

If you categorize the ending into a trope which is also well known, without spoiling exactly what it was, I am definitely not a fan of that particular trope. The attempt to justify it was also weak.

Taking out the second couple to focus more on the main storyline would help this movie a lot. Show me more of Michael and Dori doing more than writing and editing.

Although I didn't think the writing allowed you to believe that the two leads really fell for each other throughout the movie, they pulled it off in the end. I enjoyed this story, it was interesting seeing the work of an author struggling to put words to page and the editor's job. I wish they would have had the author open up a bit more to the editor so that you could watch them fall for each other but for some reason the writing of this storyline leaves everything internal until the end? I still enjoyed it though because it was well acted and I loved the side love story with her coworker struggling with commitment. Her and the guy she is dating were adorable and they had me invested in their relationship! I would recommend watching on a rainy summer day when you are PMSing and you just wanna stay bundled with a blankie and cuddle on the couch and watch a love story! :)

Boring is the word that comes to mind. The two leads are fine in other movies but the lack chemistry in this movie. There isn't much of a romantic connection between the editor and stuck writer in this tedious rom com which is lacking both rom and com.
