Always a pleasure to see Cook after her rocket to stardom in the 90's she faded away from the mainstream in recurring parts in cable tv and Lifetime movies. She's lost none of her charm or her humor and she has wonderful chemistry with Waynes, who also a treat to see in this somewhat pedestrian romcom. Unfortunately the two are way funnier and charismatic than the relatively paint-by-numbers script allows them to be. There are some fun supporting cast members, Lisa Durupt and Sean Amsing as Susan's legal assistants and the app CEO Heather Graham who's made a comeback recently as a character actor in the Netflix-verse.
The movie has a lot of promise and there are a few moments of really brilliant comedy but the movie doesn't try hard enough, big swings aren't taken in either the romantic or comedic side of things and what's left is a thoroughly predictable, safe, if still undeniably pleasant view that could have been way better.
Currently streaming on Netflix.
