Trivia
One of the people listed on the spreadsheet of Max's dates is Kassandra Cardinale, the movie's script supervisor.

Goofs
The movie takes place in Fair Haven, New York. On the letter which Gemma received, it is clearly shown as her address. A similar letter was sent to Max by Marvin the lawyer, too. On both letters, it is shown that Marvin's law firm is based in New York City, and yet his office in the whole movie is in Fair Haven, the same town where Gemma lives and where Max lived before he went to college.

Quotes
Marvin: Oh, good. You're both here. I'm Marvin.
Gemma: Hi. Gemma.
Marvin: Nice to meet you.
Max: Max.
Marvin: Max. I hope you weren't waiting too long. My assistant is off today. Are you together?
Gemma: Us? Like together... Like together-together? No. No, I haven't seen him in years, like since high school. And like he had a girlfriend, and then we both went off to college, and the timing really like never worked.
Max: I think he was just looking for like a yes or no.
Gemma: Yeah. No, we're not together.
Marvin: Well, I'm glad we cleared that up. It's too bad, though. Would have made things a lot easier. Let's go into my office.
Gemma: At the same time?
Marvin: Yes, both of you. Together. Even though I know you're not together-together. Follow me.

Good

Another day and another average Reel One Entertainment TV movie which was so close to be above average (7*) but many little things drag it down. The movie is technically fine. Music could be a bit of better but it is still passable. I'm really divided about location. It was clearly shot in Hamilton, Canada, and yet it takes place in Fair Haven, NY. It still much better than Hamilton pretending to be NYC, and there was barely any stock footage so yea, it's passable.

This is first time that Julie Nolke was a lead, and I think she was fine. Dennis Andres is already regular lead, and he was good. He played chef again but he and movie overall is better than "Hint of Love", another ROE TV movie. From the whole cast I liked the most Dave Rose. I think he nailed as Marvin.

Writing is probably the weakest link - too much safe with so many overused tropes. Kudos to director who somehow managed it. I am aware that this is both director and writer debut so I'll be less harsh. Just stop with obligatory food throwing (this time with flour) and long wardobe change scenes just to pass time. On the other side, I think movie balanced very nice in between comedy and romace plus obligatory drama at the end of Act II. There is even nice parallel secondary story involving Gemma and Max best friends. And some of the dialogues are really top notch.

And obligatory don't watch trailer as it's the ROE one and for some unknown reason(s) it shows whole movie compressed.
