This movie starts off a bit slow but it gets better and better as it goes. I thought in the beginning that the close to two hour run time would seem like three hours but by the time the film moved toward its conclusion I truly wanted to know what would happen to the characters and with their story lines.
Beyond question the two leads, Greg Brostrom as John Weatherford and Christina Blodgett as Abbey Sanderson, give strong performances and reel us in so we care about what happens to them. Abbey is working as an actuary but she doesn’t truly want to keep track of tables and statistics but she longs to be a writer. Her job offers security but her dream promises happiness. John makes unusual art but when he meets Abbey he so desires to win her love that he allows his roommate, Patrick (Ben Jeffrey), to talk him into learning about Abbey’s likes from her blog and then following through on dates by giving her the things she wants, like Tulips and quotes from English literature. But will Abbey find out about this?
The film features a lot of displayed artwork and intellectual ideas and discussions are featured. Young adults and educated people will particularly enjoy the film. It does have an innuendo or two and some brief artistic nudity in the form of a statue and paintings and we therefore recommend the movie for ages twelve plus. For those who enjoy the intellectual and artistic pursuits, or just a good romantic story, this one should satisfy. It gets better and better as it goes!
