The sparks fly when Anna Penn (Natasha Henstridge) and Charlie Hudson (Michael Vartan) meet. She's a sweet schoolteacher; he's an aspiring writer. Unfortunately, they're both engaged to other people. In fact, they're staying at the same New York City hotel in order to work on wrapping up the last details of their nuptials. Over days and evenings of joint wedding planning, the two grow closer -- and start to wonder if they're getting married to the right people after all.

Unfortunately, though, Vartan and Henstridge neither have much chemistry nor do they really look all that interested in the movie they're in.

Rated: 3/5

It's nice. Just a fun little film, without much to say either way.

Very cute romantic comedy especially the chemistry between the two supporting characters. I have watched this movie a couple of times and it is a little sappie and cliche but it still works quite well for me. It's a great two hour escape from reality.

Must see for any romantic film fans, the music is current and blends well. Quality acting through out.... Really connected with the male lead role and believe he would be a fantastic dad because he has lush hair...

So Cheesy, it has 'straight to video' all over it. Sweet storyline, but it could have been done so much better.

This movie looks like something a group of highschool students (and not very well adept highschool students, at that) made last minute. The plot is predictable, cheesy, and disjointed. The acting is horrible. The low budget shows in everything from costumes to set to filming quality, and there are almost no redeeming qualities to make the viewer willing to overlook it. Overall, whatever you may expect watching this movie, it will be a lot worse.
