5/10
weak lead, amateur style for 1st time director
11 August 2013
Picky Frankie (Ione Skye) can't find a good man. She has trouble sleeping since she lost her parents. She works at a coffee shop for her uncle Leo (Seymour Cassel). His son Rob (Michael Landes) can't come out of the closet to him, and tells him he's dating Frankie's friend Allison (Jennifer Aniston). The movie starts in black and white until Frankie meets new employee aspiring writer David (Mackenzie Astin). Frankie falls for him but he already has a girlfriend.

This is a standard rom-com with some interesting writing from Tiffanie DeBartolo. This is her first and apparently only work which is interesting in itself. It certainly has potential although she needs help with the directing. The biggest problem is the male lead Mackenzie Astin. He's not compelling enough to lead a rom-com. Ione Skye is fine. Her biggest contribution is her giant smile. Jennifer Aniston does a good job, but her star power almost overshadows everybody. Good first try for DeBartolo but sadly no second try.
