This is one of the better Reel One Entertainment TV movies. Technically movie is fine. Maybe some minor lightning issues, but nothing obvious. Location is obviously fake - Hamilton again pretending to be NYC, but it was relatively properly done and they didn't overuse stock footage like in so many other ROE TV movies.
Cast is fine, too. I really didn't like Emily Alatalo in the previous ROE movies but in this one she actually showed that she can be compentent actress. That means in the past movies it was primarly the fault of writers, and director secondary.
This movie actually shares cast with another ROE TV movie - "Luckless in Love". Steffi DiDomenicantonio again played the best friend of the main lead but she had her own story which was nicely done (I always like nice secondary story), and Brett Donahue again played a fake Brit. Why again fake Brit? But in his defense I would say he sounded a bit of better, and his movie mother is actually played by the real British (Paris Jefferson). His whole matchmaking service is also a bit of ridiculous, and let me not start about code which were shown in the close shots for a few seconds.
I have to admit that just past half movie I was pleasantly suprised with... Didn't see it coming, but after it it was obvious what is going to happen. Still, it was executed well.
Overall, it's good enough TV movie. Nothing groundbreaking, but nothing outrageously bad either.
And don't watch trailer as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.
