When food vlogger Dre (Rob Gordon) spots Tatiana (Briana Cortesiano)
sittzing on her own at a bar, it's love at first sight, and he decdides to
chat her up. Now she might not be as into him as she's into her, but is at
least mildly interested - and yet, Dre's efforts are shot slightly short
by her boyfriend Mark (Donnie Brown jr) showing up out of nowhere, pretty
much chasing Dre away. Only a few days later, at Dre's brother Isaac's
(Michael J. Parrerson) weekend-long wedding celebrations, Dre meets
Tatiana again, her being the chef for the duration. He sees it as his
second chance, but that's ruined when Isaac, not knowing about the
situation between the two, invites Mark over for the weekend as well. And
naturally, Dre and Mark are soon engaged in an extended game of alpha dog.
Thing is, things get complicated between Isaac and his bride-to-be Monica
(Ashley Rios) as well, as while Isaac's honestly in love with her, he has
never come over the death of his first wife, who has died from cancer a
few years back. And feeling nothing's not quite right, Monica finds a
shoulder to cry on in of all people Tatiana ... Now I'll admit
that romantic comedies in general aren't exactly my thing - but this one's
sure one of the better ones as it understands to include its fair share of
drama and serious topics into its plot while also not shying away from the
occasional slapstick moments to result in a rounded out whole, that might
end happily enough, but without just sugar-coating things. And an assured
directorial effort and a relatable to even likeable cast make for rather
fine viewing.
