I just started watching and had tears in my eyes 15 minutes in. So I decided to start the review now because I know it's going to be an amazing journey. It's a Romance comedy and drama all rolled into one. I wonder why has no one reviewed this movie? It seems like it wasn't shown on any big platform and slipped under the radar. Probably because it's a faith-based film. Believing in God has become a dirty word in Hollywood. For some reason many Americans can watch a movie with Hindu Muslim or Buddhist religions undertones and give great reviews, yet the minute it has Christianity involved, the reviews get resentful, critical and defensive. I'm saying this as someone who is on the fence about Christianity. If you'd check that particular prejudice off to the side, you will find a romance movie with SO MUCH HEART. This is one of those second chances to learn important lessons movie.
The main characters have great chemistry. Elizabeth Rohm looks amazing. The male lead Robert Krantz looked familiar and after searching I see he's been in a few movies I really liked. In the ones I've seen his character is always a fun and joyous dancer including this one. I adore Tom Arnold's character (Johnny Angel), I always enjoy Tom Arnold. The FABULOUS Vivica A Fox plays the boss lady, and as always gives a great performance. Then there is Connie Sellecca playing the mom/grandmother. She is clearly someone who has mastered the art of aging gracefully in Hollywood, although her character is playing a character feeling older than she really is.
This movie is a masterful reminder of living in the now (even though the plot is about living in the past). There are some really funny moments (the uber skit, dropping the kids off with grandma and the 'my man' moment) but there's also many moments you will need to grab some tissues. I usually don't cry during romance movies but did with this one. Please give this movie a chance and watch it.
