Yes! Corny romcom city! One of my favorite movie tropes! AND RACHEL BOSTON AND PAUL CAMPBELL!! I love them together!! This was a fantastically fun movie! Here’s a quick recap and my two cents. 😉
Quick Recap
Maggie is a divorced mom of two teenagers. She learns her mom is dating, her daughter is dating, and her ex-husband is engaged to be married. Feeling a bit out of sorts, she decides to start dating again. After a failed blind date, she starts pretend dating and hanging out with her widowed friend Michael.
My Two Cents
I’m getting over the flu and it was difficult to watch a movie that has this much delicious looking food! Bacon loaded chocolate cake, mozzarella sticks, milk shakes, and so much more! I wanted to eat it all! But this movie was about so much more than the food. It was corny, sweet, and loveable.
Usually I like movies with one or maybe two romance plots. Movies like The Christmas House can be a bit overwhelming with everything happening. But, I liked the several different relationship story lines in this movie. It was perfect.
I liked revisiting the 16 year old crush plot line. Emma’s crush on Zach was obviously so wrong for her and her first date with Zach was so awkward! Oh to be 16 again and figuring out who you do/don’t like. I just kept yelling at her to notice her chemistry partner, John! He even sent her the adorable beaker photo and they exchanged dad jokes. So cute!
Maggie’s mom dating Rick was adorable too. I like the thought of finding romance after you’ve lost your first love. Similarly, I liked Michael looking for love after his wife died too. He was so sweet to Maggie. Helping her. Building her up. Being there for her. Honestly, a perfect partner!
This is definitely a movie I’ll enjoy watching multiple times! I hope you watch it too. The movie had a lot of cute lines and quotes, but my favorite was that 40 is the new 30 and 10 PM is my new bed time, so I better get going to bed. 😉
