Do you call it fate, kismet, or serendipity? Whatever you call it, these two were destined to find each other! Here’s a quick recap, then my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Piper moves to New York to find herself. She joins with a temp agency to find a job that fits her. On her first day, she runs into Austin, who steals her cab while she’s bringing a drink order back to the office. She continues running into Austin – apartment across the hall, the coffee shop, and more as she tries to find herself.
My Two Cents
This isn’t a home run hit like Romance in Style, but it will be one of my favorite go-to movies like Love on the Sidelines and The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Aimee Teegarden was wonderful as always and I enjoyed the fresh face of Evan Roderick as her costar!
I’m a big fan of Aimee Teegarden! She’s cute, sweet, and wholesome in the roles she chooses. Last holiday season she was in My Christmas Family Tree and A New Year’s Resolution. Both were pretty good! Definitely see them if you haven’t!
Going back to tonight’s movie…
I admire Piper for moving to New York to find herself. What a wonderful thing for someone her age to try if they’re uncertain what they want to do with their life. Sign up with a temp agency and try several different things. I did that when I was younger too and it was great! Plus, through Piper’s desire to find herself, we are able to watch some funny learning experiences!
I always enjoy a good he/she stole my cab meet cute! Austin stealing Piper’s cab and Piper throwing the drinks all over the fashion collection was wonderful. 🤣 I also loved when she tried out for the play, then confidently strutted off the stage saying, “just setting you all up for success,” because she knew she bombed it.
But through her experiences, she meets wonderful people and finds her true calling. The nice people at the museum, the gallery, and the coffee shop owners. She creates a wonderful network of friends in a short amount of time. And Austin is there for the entire ride. I loved watching their relationship grow. There’s even a one year epilogue!
Romcoms are my bread and butter movies. I will watch them all day – everyday. But I think even non-romcom lovers will enjoy this cute/funny movie. I hope you find time to watch it!

They had great chemistry but hoped for a little more romance in the build up. It was mostly about their career projects. I also love all of Aimee’s movies. She is my favourite lead at Hallmark. Heart of Matter on HM&M was one of my 2022 favourites.
